Technically, this can't be done with just HTML. But a little bit of 
JavaScript will accomplish what you want to do. Assigning the value of 
the form control holding the URL to the window.location.href property 
will cause the redirect to occur. That assignment could happen in 
response to clicking a button. Google "window.location.href" and you 
should turn up hundreds of examples.
