How to put a link on a button with bootstrap?

Question

How would one put a link on a button with bootstrap?

there are 4 methods in the bootstrap documentation:

<a href="#" class="btn btn-info" role="button">Link Button</a>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Button</button>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-info" value="Input Button">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Submit Button">

The first one doesn't work for me, no button shows, just the text with the link, have a feeling its the theme im using.

The second one shows the button which is what i want, but whats the code make the button link to another page when clicked?

Cheers

If you don't really need the button element, just move the classes to a regular link:

<div class="btn-group">
    <a href="/save/1" class="btn btn-primary active">
        <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-floppy-disk" aria-hidden="true"></i> Save
    </a>
    <a href="/cancel/1" class="btn btn-default">Cancel</a>
</div>

Conversely, you can also change a button to appear like a link:

<button type="button" class="btn btn-link">Link</button>
