input button to load new page

Hi,

I know this may be a trivial question but I wonder if it is possible to load
a new HTML page (without opening a new window) by just clicking an input
button.

Is there a way to do this right inside the "input" tag or I must call a
JavaScript function? If this is the later case, how can I do this within
that function?

Thanks!
Moist

Both is possible. There may be a few advantages in creating a function if
the url of the new page is in a variable or something.
The question is whether your users will understand what is going on, as
input buttons do not usually load new pages.

Or, without javascript:

<form action="/some/page.html"><input type="submit" value="Go!"></form>

Bingo! This is what I was looking for. To answer the other reply from Ivo,
my users will navigate through pages using buttons, this is to simulate an
application. They won't use the usual navigation stuff.

Thanks!
