Over on SO I just posted an answer (see below) to the question there. Your case is different, because you do not have want to navigate away based on a click, but from your update function.
In your case, I would suggest to use a port: - Send the url as a string through a port to javascript - In javascript, call `window.location.href = urlFromElm` ----- To make any item a clickable link (similar to providing a href to an a element) there is hack that you could use: Supply a one-liner of javascript to an Elm style attribute. Using `attribute` from the `Html.Attributes` library. You could make your own helper that does the redirect: redirectTo : String -> Attribute msg redirectTo destinationUrl = attribute "onclick" ("window.location.href = ' ++ destinationURL ++ "'") Which you can add to any element like this: button [ class "mdl-button", redirectTo "https://google.com" ] [ text "Click to leave" ] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
