Q: how to redirect using ng-click Super-simple AngularJS app I'm trying to build, to accept credentials into two text boxes, then use two-way binding to redirect on a button click to a url which includes the two variables in it.
My problem is, I can get it working for a simple
<a href=...>

(or maybe ng-href=...) but for some reason, no matter what I do, I can't get a redirect using a
<button>

I've tried a lot of variations, but here's what I'm trying to do
<button ng-click="$location.path('http://example.com/login.jsp?un={{username}}&pw={{password}}')" class="btn btn-lg btn-warning">Log In!</button>

I CAN get it working if I call a function in a controller, but this is such a simple thing, I'd like to get it done on the page if possible.
Also, as a side-question, what are the security concerns of logging into a site like this?
**
Edit:  The part that confuses me is, this works (just without two-way binding working):
<button onClick="window.open('http://www.example.com/{{username}}');">

I'd expect that changing onClick to ng-click would give me the same behaviour, but with two-way binding.
**Re-Edit / Solution
Alright, so I finally got a workable solution.
I have NO idea why the Button tag won't work to give this behaviour, as stated above, but here's the working code.
<a href="https://www.example.com/login.jsp?un={{username}}&pw={{password}}" class="btn btn-lg btn-warning">Log In!</a>

By giving it the same class as I intended to use for the button, the text shows up looking like a button, just the same.

A: you can also use ng-href.
<button ng-href="http://example.com/login.jsp?un={{username}}&pw={{password}}" class="btn btn-lg btn-warning">Log In!</button>


A: Put a method on your controller to do the redirect and have that called form the ng-click on your button.
Markup:
<button ng-click="goLogin()">Log in</button>

Controller:
.controller('LoginCtrl', function($scope, $location) {
    $scope.form = {
        username: null,
        password: null
    };

    $scope.goLogin = function() {
        $location.url('http://test.com/login.jsp?un='+ $scope.form.username +'&pw="+ $scope.form.password);
    };
})

Also note you want to call $location.url() not path()
OR...
Add $location to your scope and call url({{newUrl}}):
$controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $location) {
    $scope.$location = $location;
})

I'd still go with calling method on the scope. 

A: Few things to note here:


*

*Referencing the Window in Angular expressions is disallowed!, so trying to use $window.location.href = '/url' on an inline ng-click expression will not work.

*$location is not exposed automatically to your scope, you'll need to expose this to the view by injecting it first to the controller and then the scope.
.controller('LoginCtrl', function($scope, $location) {
    $scope.$loc = $location;
})

*It's worth noting that $location.path() & $location.url() will NOT redirect you to a new page, this is used for routing so that route callbacks/watchers can do it's thing. The $location service allows you to change only the URL; it does not allow you to reload the page.

*The best (and also angular way imo) is to add a method to your scope in the controller. When you need to change the URL and reload the page or navigate to a different page, please use a lower level API: $window.location.href. 
Use a method bound to your controller:
$scope.redirect = function(url, refresh) {
    if(refresh || $scope.$$phase) {
        $window.location.href = url;
    } else {
        $location.path(url);
        $scope.$apply();
    }
}

And then call your method from your ng-click expression:
<button ng-click="redirect('/')">GO HOME! NO BODY LOVES YOU</button>
Note: The above method will require you to inject both $location & $window to your controller.

A: This should definitely work


$scope.loadSchedules = function () {

        window.location.href = '/Admin/Admin/DoctorsSchedule';
        
    };


**Define a function inside "ng-click" attribute**
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary success" ng-click="loadSchedules()">Ok</button>
