How to create buttons in HTML and JavaScript to redirect pages to different pages

Question

I'm creating a website using VS code and I want to create a button that when clicked will redirect to another page on the website.

I want to jump to a new page by clicking the "MENU" button. I've created a new file for the page I want to redirect, just not sure how to get "MENU" to act as a button and take me there. I'm using JavaScript and HTML/CSS in VS code.

So I want the button to take me to MENU.js

I tried using HTML to create a button but it only works if I link to the URL. I also tried the following.

MENU

But it doesn't seem to work.

Why not just use link tags <a> instead of button tags? Or for buttons use the onclick attribute:

1. <a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com">content</a>
2. <button type="button" onclick="location.href='http://www.stackoverflow.com'">Content</button>
