Linking pages using buttons

Hyper links are used to link different pages within a site and outside a site to each other. Same thing can be achieved by using a button. We can use a button to link different pages. We will connect the url of the new page to the onclick event of the button. We can do this by using a form and a submit button but there is no point in using a form for a hyper linking of pages. So here are some examples of using buttons to link different pages.

<input type=button onClick="parent.location='index.html'" value='click here'>

Another way of linking button

<input type=button onClick="location.href='index.html'" value='click here'>

Demo of two types of buttons with code

<input type=button onClick="location.href='../'" value='click here to visit home page'>

<input type=button onClick="parent.location='http://www.plus2net.com/'" value='click here to visit home page'>

Some time from SEO angle linking using a button is not a good idea as we loose the anchored text advantage of hyper linking. Read the article on search engine friendly page design to know more on this.
