I have this code.
<li class="active">
Weekly Payment
</li>
<li>
Advance Payment
</li>
<li>
Expenses
</li>
My question is that can I use <button> instead of <a> to achieve this? I changed it to buttons but they are not working.
Yes. Use <button type="button" onclick="window.location.href='YOUR URL HERE'">Link Text</button>
You can't use href in button but you can use data-href attribute to do this work. When button clicked get value of data-href and use window.location.hash to going to target id.
$("button").click(function(){
window.location.hash = $(this).data("href");
});
#first, #second, #third {
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button data-href="#first">First</button>
<button data-href="#second">Second</button>
<button data-href="#third">Third</button>
<div id="first">First</div>
<div id="second">Second</div>
<div id="third">Third</div>
You can try to take a look at this
Or you can create a button with a <a href> inside of it. I dont know wat you are trying to achieve with changing it into a button?
<button type="button">
hello
</button>
if it is for the style you can just apply a style to the a tag like this Go to Google
Goodluck!
Whenever you use #something in an anchor tag's href attribute it actually take you to an element in same page who's id is 'something'. You can use it like this as well:
click
In this case it will take you to the anotherpage.aspx page's element who's id is 'something'.
Now the purpose of button is completely different, but there are some ways to satisfy your requirement but that is not recommended. You should use anchor tag in this situation.
Here is a great link to show the difference between anchor and button tag. Check it.
Thanks.
Button does not have href functionality, so unless you use some JS functions to simulate this - No, you can't
You can use the styles over <a class="your-btn-style"> to show your anchor like a button.
If you are using bootstrap, you can simply add class="btn btn-primary" in your anchor for example :
Advance Payment
I also used this approach in my project :

I have created a button on a landing page, I would like users to be redirected to another section (in my case the contact section) on the same page when they click this button. I have tried doing this but it's not working
document.querySelector('#btn').
addEventListener('click',()=>{
document.querySelector('#contact').
style.scrollBehavior = 'smooth'
})
<button id="btn">Discover Now</button>
<section id = "contact" class="contact"></section>
I have also tried this
<button>Discover Now</button>
but did not work, where am I doing it wrong?
In CSS, set scroll-behavior property like this:
html {
scroll-behavior: smooth;
}
In HTML, add an a tag with a href attribute refering to certain section:
Click
<div id="contact"></div>
Just
Discover Now
You can't put a link inside a button. Use CSS to make the link look like a button.
You having a ; inside a javascript object { behavior:'smooth' ; } which make an error syntax, you also could press f12 to check the console logs, im sure it yelling at you the same when you click the button, something like unexpected token ;:
<button id="btn">Discover Now</button>
<section id = "contact" class="contact">
<script>
document.querySelector('#btn').
addEventListener('click',()=>{
document.querySelector('#contact').
scrollIntoView({
behavior:'smooth'
});
</script>
You are missing a closing section tag.
<section id = "contact" class="contact">
lorem ipsum
</section>
You may want to check on this page for explanations:
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_smooth_scroll.asp#section1
Why use javascript? You can do this with just html. All you need is:
Discover now
<div id="contact">Contact section</div>
Neither of your examples are valid html btw.
using scrollit it is easy to customize http://www.bytemuse.com/scrollIt.js/
Discover now
That's what i recommend using.
You can use javascript with this
<button id="contact">Discover now</button>
document.getElementById("contact").addEventListener("click", function(){
location.hash = "contact";
});
I need that use href="" attribute for button
like this <button href="link">click me</button> Instead of <a href="link">
that's wrong .
I think that I've to try this code
<button onClick="FN('MY Link For Example www.stackoverflow.com')" >click me</button>
<script>
function FN('URL'){
--> Go to MY Link For Example www.stackoverflow.com
}
<script>
So what do u guys suggest I should do ?
Try this. This will navigate to the link on click.
<button onclick="window.location.href='http://www.stackoverflow.com'">click me</button>
Why you don't use <a type="button" href=""></a>
Or if you really want a button, so <button onclick="window.location.href=""></button>
I think this will solve your problem
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com/">
<button>click me</button>
</a>
href attribute can not be used on button tag , if you want button like appearance for your a tag you can use add style to your a tag and make it look like button , add bootstrap reference then add button class to your anchor tag.
Custom Bootstrap Button , but if you still want to use button tag then adding onclick event is better option
I have two links inside a button but the links don't seem to work on Firefox.
<button class="btn login">
<b>Log In</b>
|
<b>Sign Up</b>
</button>
I tried JavaScript onclick and redirecting - even that is not working.
This doesn't work because it is not allowed by HTML5:
Content model: Phrasing content, but there must be no interactive
content descendant.
Interactive content means any of the following elements:
a audio (if the controls attribute is present) button details embed
iframe img (if the usemap attribute is present) input (if the type
attribute is not in the hidden state) keygen label menu (if the type
attribute is in the toolbar state) object (if the usemap attribute is
present) select textarea video (if the controls attribute is present)
If it does work in some browsers it's just because they're trying to
play nice with malformed markup and provide some sort of meaningful result.
In other words: rewrite your HTML, it's a mess. If you want the links to look like they're in a button, put them in a div element and style that to look like one, instead of abusing semantically wrong elements for it.
<a> is not allowed inside <button>
Phrasing content, but there must be no interactive content descendant.
<a> is interactive content (regardless of whether it has an href apparently, but yours do). Thus you can't depend on having the links as children of the button and what Firefox is doing is correct. Use another element to contain the <a>s
I have two links inside a button but […]
“Yeah, but let me stop you right there …”
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#the-button-element:
4.10.8 The button element Content model: Phrasing content, but there must be no interactive content descendant.
--->
Interactive content is content that is specifically intended for user interaction.
⇒ a, audio […]
So, if you are writing invalid HTML, expect unexpected behavior ;-)
You can add this in the button element.
onclick="window.location.href='/link1'"
Example
<button onclick="window.location.href='/login'">Login</button>
That's invalid HTML,
Do something like this instead:
<ul>
<li>Log in</li>
<li>Sign up</li>
</ul>
Use javascript: window.location for the button.
<div class="product">
<button onClick="javascript: window.location='/checkout/outfield-
banner/1'">Add to Cart</button>
</div>
Or, you can put the button inside the anchor, it won't have the exact same look since it'll be two different buttons, but it will be a button that acts as a link. It's still not technically correct but it does work in FireFox.
<a href="/login">
<button class="btn login">
<b>Log In</b>
</button>
</a>
<a href="/signup">
<button class="btn login">
<b>Sign Up</b>
</button>
</a>

$("#divPostBodyTags").toggle();
return false;
});
});

</ul>
</div>

MDN element.id
The ID must be unique in a document, and is often used to retrieve the
element using document.getElementById.
In some documents (in particular, HTML, XUL, and SVG), the id of an
element can be specified as an attribute on the element like so: .
However you can't use this attribute in a custom XML document without
correctly specifying the type of the id attribute in the DOCTYPE.
Other common usages of id include using the element's ID as a selector
when styling the document with CSS.
Note that IDs are case-sensitive, but you should not create IDs that
differ only in the capitalization (see Case Sensitivity in class and
id Names).
Use a class instead of an id if you want to toggle more than one section.
Here is my HTML:
<td>
<a class="button" href="#">
<input id="download">...</input>
</a>
<a class="button" href="#">
<input id="downloadcsv">...</input>
</a>
</td>
Using CSS I want to hide the <a> which contains an input with the ID = downloadcsv
Is there a parent option in CSS?
Edit: As current aswers indicate you cant hide a parent element based on the class of one of its childeren.
Is it possible to do this simply in Javascript, rather than using a framework like jQuery?
Assuming the <a> is the direct parent of the downloadcsv-input, you can just use
document.getElementById("downloadcsv").parentNode.style.display = "none"
This is not possible with CSS (2). However, it is possible with jQuery.
To expand on Fran's answer, the jQuery solution would be this:
$("a:has(#downloadcsv)").hide();
Otherwise, you'll need to put a class on the parent <a> indicating that it is the parent of #downloadscv.
