    Subject:        Is "onClick" a bad way to navigate using buttons?

    I have a Results form which displays result records. Then, when a SUBMIT button is hit, a Detail page is displayed.

    I added two more buttons within the Results form, one to go back one step in history:
       <input type="button" name=butModifySearch value="Modify Search" >
    AND,
    a second button to perform a new search:
       <input type="button" name=butNewSearch value="New Search" link.>

    I am receiving a run-time error for the "New Search" button, but the history button is working well.

    I have two questions:
    1)What is wrong with the "New Search" button?
    2)Are there browser bugs which make "onClick" a bad technique to use to navigate pages?
    3)Are there better techniques to use to navigate with buttons?
