button javasript works on IE but not firefox window.navigate()

Question

<input type="button" value="Back" onClick="window.navigate('http://www.google.com')"&gt;

This works on IE8, but not firefox or opera. Anyone know why and how to fix it?

Answer 1

.navigate() only works in IE.

Try setting the window.location.

window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com'

Answer 2

If you check the documentation for that method, you will see the quite common:

There is no public standard that applies to this method.

This means that it's a non-standard feature that most likely only works in Internet Explorer.

This will work:

<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.google.com';"&gt;

If you are using XHTML:

<input type="button" value="Back" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.google.com';" />

Answer 3

<input type='button' value='click' onclick="window.location='http://google.com';" />
