This article will show you how to make a HTML link button. It behaves similar to a normal hyperlink, but instead, it's a button.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open up your HTML file with your preferred text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit.
  2. 2
    Add the following code to the area where you want the button to appear:

    <form method="get" action="https://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page"><button type="submit">Home Page</button></form>

  3. 3
    Change the link. Currently the code points to wikiHow's homepage. Replace it with the URL of the page you wish to link to.
  4. 4
    Change the button text. Currently the button says "Homepage". You can change it to what ever you would like it to say.
  5. 5
    Test out the link. Left click the link to make sure it works. If it works, then you're done. If the button does not, you should check your code for mistakes.

    No, a button can only do one job. Think of a volume switch on a phone. You can't get that button to turn the volume up, and turn the phone on, and make a call, all at once. The button can only have one job. Add more buttons as needed.
