  • Why not just use an anchor (a) and style it how you want? That's what they are designed for. – Robbie Nov 04 '16 at 05:50

You can use a form tag which wraps the input tag with type=submit and in the form's action attribute you can specify the JSP page's link.

<form action='jsp-page-to-call.jsp'>
  <input type="submit" value="Refer Candidate" class="formbtn" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#recruiterModal">
</form>

So on click of the Submit Button the request goes to the JSP Page.

Using JS

    <form id="frmID">
      <input type="submit" value="Refer Candidate" class="formbtn" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#recruiterModal">
    </form>

   On button click
document.getElementById("frmID").action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/YourjspPage.jsp";
document.getElementById("frmID").submit();

<input id="buttonid" type="button" value="Refer Candidate" class="formbtn" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#recruiterModal">

   $('#buttonid').click(function(){
      window.open('yourJspPageHere.jsp','_blank');
   });

  • do u have a separate js file? this is probably a bad practice but as i've no idea about your application structure, you can place the code after the inside tags – Pragun Nov 04 '16 at 05:15
  • thanks Pragun for all your help. it's working now but while clicking on button getting 404 error as requested resource not available. Any help?? – Rabindra Nov 04 '16 at 05:20
  • thats because you've to specify the location of your jsp page. – Pragun Nov 04 '16 at 05:22
  • where to specify the location as both the jsp pages are located in the same location. – Rabindra Nov 04 '16 at 05:30
