# Using a BUTTON

 * I am trying to build a very simple menu using buttons inside a table. The table
   is just to make it look pretty. The button, when clicked, should take the User
   to anther page “Red Wine”.
 * When I click on the button, nothing happens… grrrrrrrrr
    Can anyone please correct
   this code and email it back to me at: [viralbytes@yahoo.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-a-button/viralbytes@yahoo.com?output_format=md)
 * Many thanks, Viral :o)
 * My code:
    <center><table border=”5″ bordercolor=”#660000″ style=”background-color:#
   FFFFFF” width=”98%” cellpadding=”3″ cellspacing=”3″></center> <tr> <td><center
   > <input type=”button” value=”Red Wine” onclick=”[http://funniest-vids.com/?p=42&#8243](http://funniest-vids.com/?p=42&#8243);/
   > </center></td> </table>

 * oooooh Clayton, I spoke too soon
 * What I’m trying to achieve is a simple menu in the sidebar
    so it is available
   on every page the visitor visits.
 * This is my test site which I use to try things out.

 * Using buttons doesn’t seem to work as they are too large and spread wider than
   the sidebar allows. I have no idea how to make them smaller.
    (See WINE MENU 
   1st try)
 * I’ve tried something else and to be honest, it looks pretty naff.
    (See WINE 
   MENU 2nd try)
 * Do you have any ideas or can you point me in the right direction?
 * Many thanks Viral.. :o)

 * I think the second attempt looks like a better idea than the buttons. It might
   look cleaner if you use “text-decoration:none;” to remove the underline on the
   links, and leave the text aligned left. Then you can style the “a” and “a:hover”
   colors as you see fit.
