I am pretty green to using CSS & HTML to customize sites within SharePoint. I created buttons & I am now trying to create a hyperlink for those buttons to navigate to another SharePoint site. I need to have the button when clicked to open a SharePoint site based on its URL. I have added this into a Content editor webpart that links to my SharePoint Code doc library. 

</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
  .button {
   display: inline-block;
   border-radius: 4px;
   background-color: #1E90FF;
   border: none;
   color: #FFFFFF;
   text-align: center;
   font-size: 15px;
   padding: 20px;
   width: 200px;
   transition: all 0.5s;
   cursor: pointer;
  margin: 5px;
 }
 .button span {
   cursor: pointer;
   display: inline-block;
   position: relative;
   transition: 0.5s;
 }
 .button span:after {
   content: '\00bb';
   position: absolute;
   opacity: 0;
   top: 0;
   right: -20px;
   transition: 0.5s;
 }
 .button:UTM span {
   padding-right: 25px;
 }
 .button:UTM span:after {
  opacity: 1;
  right: 0;}
 </style>
 </head>
<body>
 <button class="button" style="verticalalign:middle"><span>UTM   </span></button>

  • DO you need to have a link button to navigate you to another SharePoint site from the current page

  • I don't necessarily HAVE to include a link button. I just prefer the look/feel of a button rather than a plain underlined word & link.

  • Okay, no problem, but your question still unclear, please confirm your requirements, you now have the above HTML code and you need let the above button when it clicked open a SharePoint site based on its URL, Right?

Try to use input control with type="button" and at onclick event go to your SharePoint Site.

<input type="button" onclick="location.href='http://yourSharePoint URL';" value="Go to SharePoint Site" class="button" style="verticalalign:middle" />

Alternative solution

<script>
    function visitsite(){
        window.location='http://yourSharePoint';
    }
</script>
<button class="button" style="verticalalign:middle" onclick="visitsite();">Visit SP Site</button>

  • So, I input the alternative solution you submitted into a script editor web part, just to try it out to see if both would work. The code works works within the script editor. But then when I go to insert it onto the site. The button then does not work anymore. Any thoughts on why? Do I need to be doing this in SharePoint Designer to be more effective?

    @SHARE.Newb Do you tried to use the first solution? by the way, what do you mean with "when I go to insert it onto the site"?
