1You can't (without JavaScript), and you shouldn't. Use the proper element for navigation, which is an anchor. Style it as you like. – isherwood Nov 29 '22 at 15:45

The linked duplicate will show you how to redirect the user with JavaScript. But I'd like to reiterate the comment above... A button which *only* redirects a user should be a link. – David Nov 29 '22 at 15:47

@MegaMindTheCoder: Mixing buttons and links like that is just solving a problem by creating more problems. It's also invalid HTML, according to the W3C validator. – David Nov 29 '22 at 15:52
