onclick="location.href='link.html'" does not load page in Safari
You can try this:
<a href="link.html">
<input type="button" value="Visit Page" />
</a>
This will create button inside a link and it works on any browser
Use jQuery....I know you say you're trying to teach someone javascript, but teach him a cleaner technique... for instance, I could:
<select id="navigation">
<option value="unit_01.htm">Unit 1</option>
<option value="#5.2">Bookmark 2</option>
</select>
And with a little jQuery, you could do:
$("#navigation").change(function()
{
document.location.href = $(this).val();
});
Unobtrusive, and with clean separation of logic and UI.
Try this:
onclick="javascript:location.href='http://www.uol.com.br/'"
Worked fine for me in Firefox, Chrome and IE (wow!!)
Give this a go:
<option onclick="parent.location='#5.2'">Bookmark 2</option>
