Linking to Google maps with button

[bucket]

Hi all,

This is starting to give me the shitz. I'm not great with html and can't figure out why this isn't working. All I want to do is have a simple button that links to a google map destination. I've tried the following centered on London just as an example:

<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=london&ie=UTF8&z=10&iwloc=addr">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="View on map">
</FORM>

Just defaults to google map home page. Also tried the following just using URL from Yahoo maps, works fine with Firefox but no good on IE.

<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=51.506325&lon=-0.127144&zoom=11&q1=london">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="View on map">
</FORM>

Can do it on google maps in both firefox and IE with a straight forward <a href=etc, and am getting around it at the moment by using a button image instead of an actual button.

Anyone got any ideas why I'm stuffing it up? Apart from being a newb.

Cheers for the offer mate but I can't insert the code into the actual page. The page runs a javascript looking for a value in a Microsoft access table and then runs the code from there, so it has to be able to run as a stand alone piece of html.

here's a link to a page running the map link as a simple href


If you copy the second bit of code into notepad and open it with firefox and IE you'll see why it's shyzing me.

bah! I'm an idiot

<input type=button onClick="location.href='http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&q=london&ie=UTF8&z=10&iwloc=addr'" value='View on map'>

works fine
