Step Six - change location

If you click on the button above a short function will be executed which will bring you to the file step6.htm (where we are already.) That button was defined like


<input type="button"

onclick="go_to_url('step6.htm')"

value="go nowhere" >

and calls the following script.


<script>

function go_to_url(target_url)

{

window.location.href=target_url

}

<script>

In the script the give URL was assigned to be the hyper reference of the browsers window current location. If it would have been different a new page would have been loaded. It is effectivly just as if a user clicks on a link. The difference is that the script changes the location by itself.
