I would use PHP and just do this...

One can't JUST do that. PHP runs on the server; the client has to get the server's attention by making a request. Whether that's done by clicking a link, by clicking a submit button, or by the user typing into the address bar, it has to occur. If it's a simple page request, one may as well tell the server the page they want delivered, rather than ask the server for an executable page whose only reason for being is to deliver the second page that the client really wants.

The pure HTML version you were looking for is

<form action="http://www.programmingforums.org"><input type="submit" value="Click here" /></form>

Hello? Do I not get credit for anything? :p

DaWei · Jun 28th, 2005, 2:33 PM

We didn't give you credit because you put a div, to no purpose, around just the button! :p

Ooble · Jun 28th, 2005, 5:28 PM

Actually, you have to do that. If there's an input element without a container, the W3C gets angry.

I question that, without any sound basis for doing so. I'll have to revalidate some of my pages, I guess. I never waste anything if I can help it, or put an unnecessary load on a parser or renderer.

What's wrong with a hyperlink picture of a button?

DaWei · Jun 29th, 2005, 4:29 PM

Not a thing, if you don't run your page load time up with a skadillion button images.
