OnClick to Web Address Error

I have the following code on a button:

[code]
<input type=”button” value=”Add Project” style=”font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt” onclick=”go(‘ProjectList-add.asp’)”>
[/code]

All I want it to do is work as a hyperlink and go to that web page; however, nothing happens and I get a javascript error Object Expected. Any ideas?

Try this:
[CODE]<input type="button" value="Add Project" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt" onclick="top.location='ProjectList-add.asp'">[/CODE]

@stephen1davisApr 13.2006 — Hey Steve

what's the difference between saying "top.location=" and "location.href="?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@balloonbuffoonApr 13.2006 — Actually, I don't know. I have found that any of the following will work:

top.location

window.location

location.href

location

...others, I guess.

I [I]think[/I] top.location will make sure to break out of a frame, if its in one, but I'm not sure. Does anyone else know?

[/QUOTE]
Yes you are correct. top.location takes the top-most document in the window. So say a document has frames, and those frames have frames also. top.location will change the whole pages location instead of just the frame that calls it.

Success!
