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>
