I would like to make button submit to direct to new page, but don't know how to do this. Does it have to be javascript function embedded in HTML ?

Thanks

You can have a button to open a newpage using the NewPage Button. For this to work best you need to make sure you use categories for your pages and you can then have a button to create new pages in each category. An example of the syntax you can use is as follows:

[[include :snippets:newpage-button
|size=215px
|category=countries
|name=newcountry
|parent=countries:main
|button=Add a new Country page
]]

If you don't use categories then you would just leave out the category= line.

I use this a great deal on my sites and it works very well.

Thanks, Bob. You're really helpful.
I am sorry that in last thread I didn't post clearly. What I wanted to say was to direct the current page to another existing page, but I described to the term "new page". Your method works great.
Can you also tell me how to direct to another existing page?
Thanks again!
Have a nice holiday!

Yes you can do this with the following recipe which you can adjust to taste:

[[div style="-moz-border-radius:5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; background-image: url(http://themes.wikidot.com/local--files/rainbow-base/button_2.png); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-color:#F4F4F4; border: 1px solid #dddddd; height: 35px; text-align:center; width:100px;"]]

[[[start| Home]]]

[[/div]]

Which will give the following result:

Home

Of course, if you don't need the background image then just do a normal link: [[[start | Home]]]
