在提交按钮中具有href的onclick

Question

I want to change page when I click the update/submit button. Here is my submit button code:

<td width="8%"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update" onclick="??????????"></td>

I place a question mark where I want the link/href would be place. Or you can suggest other methods to do that when I click update button it directs me to another php file. Thanks!

Answer 1

No onclick needed. onclick is for executing JS. This is done by setting action attribute for <form> .

<form method="POST" action="anotherPHPFile.php">
     <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update">
</form>

After clicking on button, you will be redirected to anotherPHPFile.php .

Answer 2

Do like this!

 function redirect(e){ //If you want to check something here can prevent defualt button action // e.preventDefault() //now do your action. // similar behavior as an HTTP redirect window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com"); // you can also use this line to do similar behavior as clicking on a link // window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com"; } 

 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update" onclick="redirect()">
