Create A Redirect Button With HTML & JavaScript

#buttons #redirect #javascript #html

Hello Again CodeNewbies

Today we will be creating redirect button using HTML & JavaScript

HTML and JavaScript Example

  1. Add a button to your HTML file.
  2. Use JavaScript to handle the button click event and perform the redirection.

Here's how you can do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Add a Button in HTML
First, add a button to your HTML file. For example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Redirect Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Button to trigger the redirection -->
    <button id="redirectButton">Click me to go to another page</button>

    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Add JavaScript to Handle the Button Click
Next, add the following JavaScript to your

script.js
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

file to handle the button click and redirect the user:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    // Select the button by its ID
    const redirectButton = document.getElementById('redirectButton');

    // Add a click event listener to the button
    redirectButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
        // Redirect the user to the specified URL
        window.location.href = 'https://www.example.com';
    });
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Detailed Explanation
HTML Button:

<button id="redirectButton">Click me to go to another page</button>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This creates a button with the ID redirectButton. When this button is clicked, it will trigger the JavaScript event listener.

  1. JavaScript: 
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    const redirectButton = document.getElementById('redirectButton');

    redirectButton.addEventListener('click', function() {
        window.location.href = 'https://www.example.com';
    });
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { ... });
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

ensures that the JavaScript code runs only after the DOM has fully loaded.

const redirectButton = document.getElementById('redirectButton');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

selects the button element by its ID.

redirectButton.addEventListener('click', function() { ... });
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

adds a click event listener to the button.

window.location.href = 'https://www.example.com';
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

changes the current page to the specified URL

(https://www.example.com).
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

& with that you have a button which redirects your users to any desired url, of your choice...

Nice and clear explanation! This is super helpful for beginners who want to understand how a simple redirect works using HTML and JavaScript. It’s a small feature, but very powerful—especially for things like call-to-action buttons on landing pages or guiding users to important resources. For anyone building a business website, even something like a redirect button can improve user flow and engagement, which is crucial in competitive markets like the UAE, where online presence plays a big role in business success.
