newb question- js/html button

[nektir]

i've never used a root link like this with a button, so perhaps this is
why i've never encountered a problem.. but how would one fix this:

<input name="Go to this webpage" type="button" value="Go to this
webpage" onClick="/directory1/webpage.htm"/>

i tried onClick="javascript:window.open(/directory1/webpage.htm);"

but that doesn't work either :(

any help is much appreciated!

nevermind!

it's friday, and it seems my brain is fried from a week of stressful
work.. i missed the obvious

<input name="Go to this webpage" type="button" value="Go to this
webpage" onClick="javascript:window.open('/directory1/webpage.htm')"/>

single quotes around the address...

<input name="Go to this webpage" type="button" value="Go to this
webpage" onclick="location='/directory1/webpage.htm'"/>

You may want to not use spaces in form control name.

<input name="Go_to_this_ webpage" ...

Why do you begin the code in the onclick definition with the string "javascript:"???????????

Why do you not pass the URL parameter to window.open() as a string? I don't know *what* that will do - pass a RegExp?

Why are you bothering?
