I use your way but page doesn't redirect to another page,
it just print out the string (Location: www.****.com),
how can i redirect to another page?

The best way is to use HTML metatag inside the teamsite TPL

eg:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://webdesign.about.com/">

From where r u calling this cgi script and from where do u get the url parameter?

You are a bit vague here...

What is the page that contains your buttons ?
Are you producing it with CGI getting multiple target URL's from wherever ?

Be it as it may, it's easy to do with Javascript.
The following sample shows one of the many ways to do it.

<html>
<head>
<title>get to URLs</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" value=" Get to Yahoo "
onClick="get_to_page('http://www.yahoo.com');"><br>
<input type="button" value=" Get to Google "
onClick="get_to_page('http://www.google.com');"><br>
<input type="button" value=" Get to DevNet "
onClick="get_to_page('http://devnet.interwoven.com/site.fcgi');">
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps

You could use a form to do this.
Just add a form in your html that will have a button. In the action item of form element you can specify the target page.
