JavaScript load a page on button click

javascript button load

I am trying to do a very simple task here, I would like to be able to click a button on a page and have it take me to another page. I have tried window.location.href, and a bunch of other things and it does nothing. I have tried different platforms and different browsers, all with the same result.

I know that it can call a function but I just cannot get the new page to load. Also this is all in my local file system and both pages live at the same level (but I have also tried to load an external page like www.apple.com).

Any thoughts?

Thanks Patrick
