Question

So I am trying to insert a button in my company’s sharepoint site with asp. The button appears correctly, but I can’t get it to go to a certain page when I click it. When I click it it just refreshes the page. I want it to go to this link… http://www.w3schools.com/ . Can someone help me fix this?

        <content>
        <div>
            &nbsp;
            <asp:Button runat="server" Text="Add New Item" id="Button1" Font-Bold="True" onclick="window.location='http://www.w3schools.com/'"></asp:Button> </div>
        </content>

Answer 1

<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Add New Item" id="Button1" Font-Bold="True"
     OnClientClick="window.location='http://www.w3schools.com/'; return false;">   </asp:Button>

You need to change two things:

1. Since this is a client side handler, use OnClientClick.
2. Return false after setting the location so that the default event (post back) is not fired.
