Need onclick function to goto URL from smbutton

[ByronD]

I have a basic navbar under my banner now, thanks to Ivar's excellent tutorial, but I am going to be using themes more on my site and I want to have a navbar that is more theme friendly rather than hardcoded with text and color values. This is especially important because I am going to have different themes for some of my major categories. I am considering using input buttons instead of list items with 'smbutton' class, but the problem I ran into is that the onclick handler for these needs to have a java function specified.

Is there a java function I can specify in an button's onclick handler that will goto a specified URL? I'v browsed around, but I don't know how to find a list of what java functions are available to me when customizing smugmug.

Site is creativeflashes.smugmug.com

Thanks!

Goodness, I thought this one was an easy one for one of the old hats around here, I didn't know it would be a stumper.

I'm all to the point of using lines like the following:

<input type="button" value="Guestbook" onclick="gotoURL(http://www.creativeflashes.com/gallery/2507057);" class="smbuttons" />

...instead of the line item lines as in the navbar tutorial, but I need to know the real name for the 'gotoURL" like function. The reason I wanted to use something like smbuttons was because it styles well for the various themes.

Thanks for anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for anyone who can point me in the right direction.You can do this:

<ul>
<li class="smbuttons">stuff</li>
</ul>

It doesn't have to be an input button you know.

I can't say if this is the right way, BUT this is what I used on my search page (http://lmsportspix.smugmug.com/find/). I hope someone can point both of us in the right direction.
<FORM ACTION="http://www.creativeflashes.com/gallery/2507057/" > <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="guestbook" class="smbuttons" id="cfp1"></form>
(BTW my search page is still work in progress)
Hope this helps.....

Mike, thanks for the info. Actually, I am on a steep learning curve with CSS, just deciding a week ago or so to learn it and customize and clean some things up on my smugmug site, so I didn't know you could use that class in line items. Doing what you mentioned got me to where I want to be.

RichW, nice site, by the way.

No problem :D You can apply a class to any item (or nearly any item, I can't think of any off the top of my head that can't be classed). It's a great idea to use the buttons or smbuttons class for that btw :thumb With minimal work you can keep the look of the theme. Nice going!
