[html] Question about buttons

[Ascelyn]

So I've got two questions.

1. I would like to have this script to work so that if you fill in the form. And press send it'd send it straight to me

2. I want my button linked to a website.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTML | <form action="MAILTO:xxxx@xxxx - Correct mail - ETJXe3nh - Pastebin.com
This is the way how I found to send simple things to me. And it works.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the script where I want to add the "send" "reset" button. So everyone who fills in the form can send it to me(Site isnt public, never will.)
if you find anything that's wrong, feel free to post it
HTML | <form> First name: <input ty - Correct mail - 7jVj68MP - Pastebin.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the script of a button >.<
BUT! I want the button to be linked to a website. E.g: When I click the button it brings me to youtube or something.
(I know I should post it in pastebin, But didnt see the need for this small and basic HTML code)

form action="http://www.youtube.com/">
<input type="button" value="clicky clicky">

This is what I thought I should do. Unfortunatly. It failed.

action is what it does when the form is submitted. You want another event raised

HTML | <form action="mailto:XXXXX@XXX - Reid - C2rav5ms - Pastebin.com

Thanks.
1)But what exactly would I want to type if I want a menu made out of buttons? Because currently it exists of hyperlinks.

Pastebin of my menu

2) What exactly does this do:

<form action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post"  onSubmit=window.location.href="WEBPAGE.html">

Thanks in advance I'm going to +rep you for the help in your previous post.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but..

1)An example of a button used instead of hyperlinks: <input type=button value='eBay' onclick='window.location.href = "http://ebay.com/"'>

2) (Not sure) By clicking the button it'll send the data to (mailto[email protected] by using the post method (not get), and it'll then redirect you to domain.com/webpage.html

Hope this helped you..

Thanks! That's exactly what I ment! +rep

Alternatively for 1, just use a <a> tag as usual but rather than have text have a <input type="button" value="blah"/>

And 2, that's exactly what it does. Or should do, if it doesn't say and I'll have a think and get back to you.

Well, I can just explain it to you...
this "<input type=button value='eBay' onclick='window.location.href = "http://ebay.com/"'>"
uses a technology or scripting language called javascript, or let's put it this way, it helps website makers save alot of time making good websites
well let's break the code apart
<input - the code
type=button - this makes it a button
value='eBay' - this is the text which right now is "ebay"
onclick='window.location.href = "http://ebay.com/"' - now this... this is javascript... Which says that when you click the button, it will go to "http://ebay.com/"
> - and this ends the code

if you want to quickly make a button then edit this where it tells you to edit it:
<input type="button" value="Write your text here (edit everything inside the qoutes)" onclick='window.location.href = "Write the link that you want here (edit everything inside the quotes)"'>
