HTML href doesn't redirect to specific href

Question

I created an <a> tag with href to redirect to another page. On clicking nothing happens only on the a specific page I'm working on. seems like there is some CSS which bloc the redirect task.

I tried to use pointer-events to solve it but nothing happens to. Any idea about what could be the reason ?

<button class = "link external" style="pointer-events: auto;" href="chooseproducts.php">test</button>

Please change your button to hyperlink (a tag). Also there is no need for pointer events with anchor tag. — Tal, Jun 07 '21 at 15:39

The element for creating a link is <a>.

There is no href attribute for a <button> element (which, depending on its type, is used to submit forms, reset forms, or attach JS to).

Using a validator would have highlighted this error.
