html - How to put a link on a button with bootstrap?

Question

How would one put a link on a button with bootstrap?

there are 4 methods in the bootstrap documentation:

<a href="#" class="btn btn-info" role="button">Link Button</a>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info">Button</button>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-info" value="Input Button">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-info" value="Submit Button">

The first one doesn't work for me, no button shows, just the text with the link, have a feeling its the theme im using.

The second one shows the button which is what i want, but whats the code make the button link to another page when clicked?

Cheers

The easiest solution is the first one of your examples:

<a href="#link" class="btn btn-info" role="button">Link Button</a>

The reason it's not working for you is most likely, as you say, a problem in the theme you're using. There is no reason to resort to bloated extra markup or inline Javascript for this.
