I wanna switch this code:

<a href="selectare_gen.php" target="continut">Inapoi</a>

With a button. I want a button who redirect to ”selectare_gen.php” I tried:

<button onclick="location.href='selectare_gen.php'">Inapoi</button>

But all it does is refreshing the current page..

It should be 

<button type="reset" onclick="location.href='selectare_gen.php'">
    Inapoi
</button>

The type="reset" is a workaround to prevent the browser from interpreting the button as a form element which causes the reload.

    Type `button` would be a better solution as it "[Does nothing](https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/the-button-element.html#the-button-element)". No need for a workaround. :) – Ivar May 24 '16 at 14:29

Many browsers think that the <button> tag will cause a submit that's why it's appearing to just refresh the page. If you use an input type="button" it wouldn't have this effect:

<input type="button" onclick="window.location='selectare_gen.php';" value="Inapoi" />

  • The reason why many browsers think that, is because "[The missing value default is the Submit Button state.](https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/the-button-element.html#the-button-element)". – Ivar May 24 '16 at 14:34
