You should either use:

<form action="somefile.php">
<input type="button" value="Hello world!">
</form>

Or use javascript:

<input type="button" value="Hello World!" onclick="doSomething();">

Hope it helps.

<input type="submit" value="Hello world!">
</form>

I really wish there was something like
<input type="button" href="somewhere.html" value="Go somewhere!!">

If it was only allowed to create custom attributes then I would have built one for myself with javascript. If only ....

If it was only allowed to create custom attributes then I would have built one for myself with javascript. If only ....Not a good idea. Javascript should be avoided wherever a non-Javascript alternative can't be offered, and in this case the Javascript wouldn't actually do anything the alternative couldn't, so there'd be no point in having it :)
