i am two days into teaching myself html, and as far as why am i doing things the way im doing them well the truth is i have no idea what im doing at this point. what im trying to do is open an html file in the same window on a button click and this is working fine in firefox and chrome but when i open it in internet explorer 8 and 9 it does not work so any suggestion on what im doing wrong is appreciated. all the html file i am opening are local.

Answer 1

Any suggestions?

If you have a list of things, then use a list.

If you want a navigational control, then use a link.

See listamatic for examples of how to style lists of links to look like a row of buttons.

Answer 2

Having more than one input elements with the same Id can be the reason.

As a suggestion, use Markup Validation Service and see if there are any errors.

Markup Validation Service

This validator checks the markup validity of Web documents in HTML, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc.
