Trying to open a new webpage by clicking the actionButton in Shiny

[jhu...@stevens.edu]

Hello,

Is there anyone who happen to know how to open a new webpage by triggering the action button when executing the Shiny App in server? 

Since I have several Shiny Apps, ideally, I'd like to build a welcome page with several button, which could redir the users to those Apps.

Thank you!

You don't need to use actionButton, just make an HTML <a> tag right in your ui.R:

tags$a(class="btn btn-default", href="{url}", "{description}")

I wasn't sure from your question whether you wanted it in a new window, if so then also include target="_blank" as an argument.

Thank you, Joe. That's very helpful. 

Finally, I made my code like:

shinyUI(

           HTML('<a href = ........><button style = "height:70px;width:100px"></button></a>)).

It's a nice discuss place. I alway get great insights from your guys help. 

Thanks again!
