How to make a button redirect to another page using jQuery or just Javascript

is this what you mean?

$('button selector').click(function(){
   window.location.href='the_link_to_go_to.html';
})

$('#someButton').click(function() {
    window.location.href = '/some/new/page';
    return false;
});

Without script:

<form action="where-you-want-to-go"><input type="submit"></form>

Better yet, since you are just going somewhere, present the user with the standard interface for "just going somewhere":

<a href="where-you-want-to-go">ta da</a>

Although, the context sounds like "Simulate a normal search where the user submits a form", in which case the first option is the way to go.

With simple Javascript:

<input type="button" onclick="window.location = 'path-here';">

You can use:

  location.href = "newpage.html"

in the button's onclick event.

This should work ..

$('#buttonID').click(function(){ window.location = 'new url'});

You can use window.location

window.location="/newpage.php";

Or you can just make the form that the search button is in have a action of the page you want.

From YT 2012 code.

<button href="/signin" onclick=";window.location.href=this.getAttribute('href');return false;">Sign In</button>

Use a link and style it like a button:

<a href="#page2" class="ui-btn ui-shadow ui-corner-all">Click this button</a>
