I am making a prototype and I want the search button to link to a sample search results page.
How do I make a button redirect to another page when it is clicked using jQuery or plain JS.
This question is related to
javascript
jquery
redirect
buttonclick
You can use window.location
window.location="/newpage.php";
Or you can just make the form that the search button is in have a action of the page you want.
You can use:
location.href = "newpage.html"
in the button's onclick event.
this is the FASTEST (most readable, least complicated) way to do it, Owens works but it's not legal HTML, technically this answer is not jQuery (but since jQuery is a pre-prepared pseudocode - reinterpreted on the client platform as native JavaScript - there really is no such thing as jQuery anyway)
<button onclick="window.location.href='http://www.google.com';">Google</button>
No need for javascript, just wrap it in a link
<a href="http://www.google.com"><button type="button">button</button></a>
And in Rails 3 with CoffeeScript using unobtrusive JavaScript (UJS):
Add to assets/javascripts/my_controller.js.coffee
:
$ ->
$('#field_name').click ->
window.location.href = 'new_url'
which reads: when the document.ready event has fired, add an onclick
event to a DOM object whose ID is field_name
which executes the javascript window.location.href='new_url';
With simple Javascript:
<input type="button" onclick="window.location = 'path-here';">
is this what you mean?
$('button selector').click(function(){
window.location.href='the_link_to_go_to.html';
})
There are a lot of questions here about client side redirect, and I can't spout off on most of them…this one is an exception.
Redirection is not supposed to come from the client…it is supposed to come from the server. If you have no control over the server, you can certainly use Javascript to choose another URL to go to, but…that is not redirection. Redirection is done with 300 status codes at the server, or by plying the META tag in HTML.
Use a link and style it like a button:
<a href="#page2" class="ui-btn ui-shadow ui-corner-all">Click this button</a>
From YT 2012 code.
<button href="/signin" onclick=";window.location.href=this.getAttribute('href');return false;">Sign In</button>
In your html, you can add data attribute to your button:
<button type="submit" class="mybtn" data-target="/search.html">Search</button>
Then you can use jQuery to change the url:
$('.mybtn').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).data('target');
location.replace(url);
});
Hope this helps
$('#someButton').click(function() {
window.location.href = '/some/new/page';
return false;
});
This should work ..
$('#buttonID').click(function(){ window.location = 'new url'});
You can use this simple JavaScript code to make search button to link to a sample search results page. Here I have redirected to '/search' of my home page, If you want to search from Google search engine, You can use "https://www.google.com/search" in form action.
<form action="/search"> Enter your search text:
<input type="text" id="searchtext" name="q">
<input onclick="myFunction()" type="submit" value="Search It" />
</form>
<script> function myFunction()
{
var search = document.getElementById("searchtext").value;
window.location = '/search?q='+search;
}
</script>
