If you've ever wanted to use buttons on your HTML pages to take you to another page, then use this technique:

<FORM ACTION="http://www.microsoft.com" METHOD=GET>
  <INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=foo VALUE="Go to Microsoft">
</FORM>

This creates a form whose only purpose in life is to send you to another page. Instead of the usual method=post, we use method=get to fetch the desired page.
