If you want to avoid JavaScript, then use a submit button and set the action to the page you want to redirect to:
Of course, you shouldn't be submitting a form to redirect, so use JavaScript, or a link.

Hey do this onclick="location.href='your_redirectionpage.html' " enjoy

Yes, that would be the JavaScript method of redirecting to another page.

You can also use the button tag as a submit button by specifying type="submit".

yeah... but the submit buttom method wil have a posting and should have a form tag.. but this simple line of java script is worth while .. no extra fuss no posting.. jsut one click redirecting SIMPLE isn't it?

Yes, I agree and if this had been posted in the JavaScript forum, that's exactly what I would have suggested.

If you want to avoid JavaScript, or have users who may have JavaScript disabled, then you're left with the option of a link or a submit button.

But Mr Decahedron is using <button> tag so the only option for redirection is onclick redirect... now he have to change the whole code to
<form action="somthing.html" >
<input type="submit" >
</form>

??

its a lot more tag and you changed the whole <button> tage to 2 tages extra.. and a posting which would be a burden for the server...

i dont think that there would be people who disable javascript... in this web 2 world.. where everything work on javascript and Ajax...

@clain
That's not quite true. A lot of people for a number of reasons have JavaScript disabled or choose not to enable JavaScript, e.g. using the NoScript Firefox addon, or even do not support it. A web page should work without JavaScript and JavaScript should not be used for basic functionality on the page. JavaScript can be used to enhance the page for those who have enabled it. The exception is when you know your users, e.g. in an intranet or logged in staff in your company.

I am one who has the JavaScript disabled. It is interesting how many pages rely on it. Sometimes it is a hassle without it, but for the most part I like it better without JavaScript.

I accept your point "accorder" ... for security reason we may disable it in a intranet of an organization.

if Mr Decahedron don't have any trouble in using JavaScript then,let he use it... rather that a lot more posting and a form..

and Kevin u missed a beautiful web world without JavaScript

to redirect on another page you use
<button onclick="window.location.href='buggywhippbio.html' ">Buggy Whipp Bio</button>
