help with javascript function

hi there,

i was wondering if someone could provide me with a basic java function that when called on would take me to a website? such as www.linuxquestions.org

Code:

<html>
	<head>
		<script language="javascript">
			function goToUrl(URL)
			{
				window.open(URL);
			}
			
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		
		<input type=button value="Click me!" onclick=goToUrl("http://www.yahoo.com")>
	</body>
</html>

you mean javascript (from your title)? java and javascript are completely unrelated things

If you really mean Java and not JavaScript, then the method you tell an Applet to open a URL is like this:

Code:

AppletContext context = getAppletContext(); // assuming the object you're writing this in extends Applet or JApplet
URL url = new URL("http://www.linuxquestions.org");
context.showDocument(url);
