I have a button in my JSP that is programmed like this. When I compile and run the web application, the button appears, but nothing happens on click.

 <table>
	            <tr>
	                <td>
		                <button id="showAddLicense" 
		                        class="ur_button" 
		                        onclick="/ir_plus/admin/addRepositoryLicense.action"
 		                        onmouseover="this.className='ur_buttonover';"
 		                        onmouseout="this.className='ur_button';">Add License</button> 
	                </td>
	            </tr>
	        </table>

previously, the button had been a link, like this, and it worked perfectly:

 	        <!-- <c:url var="addLicenseUrl" value="/admin/addRepositoryLicense.action">
 	        </c:url>
 	        <a href="${addLicenseUrl}">Add License</a>
 	        <br/>
 	        <br/>

Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks!

The onclick is handled on the client, so you'll have to use javascript, like:

<button id='showAddLicense' onclick="javascript:window.location='your_link';">

EDIT: Never mind, I got it. Thanks for the help!!!

It still doesn't seem to e working. Any idea what might be wrong? The button still appears and animates when I click it, but no action is forthcoming. Thanks for the help. I'm sorry if it's obvious. This is the first time I've used javascript or JSP and I haven't been able to find a working answer online anywhere.

Your button code is javascript not java.
Do you have a javascript method that correspond to this command?
