redirect to a new page on button click

[krips]

Hi..

I have two pages page1.php & page2.php. I also have a link in page1.php that will take me to page2.php. Now, there is a button in page2.php which should take the user to page1.php upon clicking.

Any one could help me to accomplish this please?

I am not so sure if button is a good option to use here instead of link. But I initially tried using link in page2.php also (which will take me to page1.php). But I need to refresh my page1.php each time I click the link and I couldn't do that though I tried. So, I am thinking of using button now.

I am new to this. Not sure if this is so stupid a question to ask..

Thanks for your help..

usually a link does call a refreshed version, unless you employ some kind of caching mechanism. and a button should not behave differently (in principle) than a link. it also requires JavaScript to work.

Forced browser refresh and a link sometimes work differently. Depends on the browser's settings. However, this normally only affects external entities like images and CSS files.

you can use JavaScript for that. but i am not sure that its effect will different than using a link
