How To Redirect To Another Url Using JavaScript In MVC Page

I know this has been asked before both on here and elsewhere, but everything I've tried and read is still failing for me.

I have (so far) tried the following inside a method I am successfully calling:

    window.location.href = "http://www.google.co.uk";
    window.location.replace = "http://www.google.co.uk";
    window.location = "http://www.google.co.uk";
    window.navigate = "http://www.google.co.uk";
    location.replace("http://www.google.co.uk");
    window.location.assign("http://www.google.co.uk");
    self.location = "http://www.google.co.uk";
    top.location = "http://www.google.co.uk";
    location.assign("http://www.google.co.uk");

This is inside a method I am calling from a button:

<button class="btn btn-default" id="SaveAndExit" onclick="saveAndExit();">GO TO GOOGLE</button>

This should be straightforward for something I've broken down so simple, but my screen just refreshes without navigating to the URL I specify.

What can't I see please?!

You should have an <input type="button"> instead of a button component.

So your button should look like:

<input type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="SaveAndExit" onclick="saveAndExit();">GO TO GOOGLE</button>

The default type of a HTML button is submit, in this case onclick does not run, use

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" id="saveAndExit" onclick="saveAndExit()">
