I have many buttons inside of webpage like this.
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn" onClick="javascript:clickinner();">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn1" onClick="javascript:clickinner();">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn2" onClick="javascript:clickinner();">more</div>
What i am trying to do is call function clickinner() on button onclick event. I tried to grab the button element by class name and change the target url. The javascript code is as follows.
<script>
function clickinner(){
var mybtn=document.getElementsByClassName('btn');
mybtn.onClick="location.href='about-us.html'";
};
</script>
I don'twant to grab the element by Id so that i have to assign unique id each time. However whenever i click on any of buttons, the target link is not working. Please help me.

Reset to default 2The clicked button can be accessed by using this in the clickinner function, no need to get it by class name:
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn" onClick="javascript:clickinner(this);">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn1" onClick="javascript:clickinner(this);">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn2" onClick="javascript:clickinner(this);">more</div>
Furthermore, you can just directly redirect to the 'about-us' page, since you're already in the click event. So ...
<script>
function clickinner(target) { // Target refers to the clicked element
location.href='about-us.html';
};
</script>
... is enough.
If you need to go to different pages based on which class the button has, you can do something like:
function clickinner(target) {
if(target.classList.contains('mycustom_btn')) {
location.href = 'another-page.html';
} else {
location.href='about-us.html';
}
};
Add this as parameter to your function and change the location correctly
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn" onClick="javascript:clickinner(this);">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn1" onClick="javascript:clickinner(this);">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn2" onClick="javascript:clickinner(this);">more</div>
<script>
function clickinner(mybtn){
// Do your stuff here with the clicked button
location.href='about-us.html';
};
</script>

Working fiddle solution
HTML:
<div id="button">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn">more</div>
JS:
var button = document.getElementById('button');
button.addEventListener('click', function(){
alert('only 1 button clicked');
window.location = 'about-us.html';
});
var buttons = document.querySelectorAll('.btn');
for(var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++){
buttons[i].addEventListener('click', function(){
alert('each button clicked');
window.location = 'about-us.html';
});
}
Try this sample
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>First Page</title>
<script>
function clickinner() {
window.location.href = 'secondPage.html';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn"
onClick="javascript:clickinner()">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn1"
onClick="javascript:clickinner();">more</div>
<div class="btn btn-sm btn-success mycustom_btn2"
onClick="javascript:clickinner();">more</div>
</body>
</html>
