Button "onClick" problem

Freakish_05 · 12 Nov 2006 at 15:10

Afternoon all,

I've got a little problem with a button

I'm trying to use the goTo function to link to another page but no matter how many different times I've tried, it simply won't work.
Here's how it looks at present:

Code:

<input name="button22" value="Yes" type=button onClick="goTo(deletefavlink.php?uid=<?php echo $row_favlinks['uid']; ?>)">

Any ideas guys?

Cheers

Do you have the goTo() function defined somewhere, like in the <head> or an external script? What is the definition of the goTo() function?

Ah, I haven't defined the goTo function anywhere this is undoubtably my problem.

I'm trying to get the button to link to:

Code:

deletefavlink.php?uid=<?php echo $row_favlinks['uid']; ?>

I undersand that this could be easily done using a standard href link but I want use a button as its part of a form.

Cheers

Add the javascript function in the <head>, and it should work fine as it is. Something like:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function goTo(url) {
  document.location.href = url;
}
</script>

should do the trick.

Solved.

I put form tags around the button and set action to deletefavlink.php?uid=<?php echo $row_favlinks['uid']; ?>

I tried your method Augmented but it didnt work

cheers anyway
