anyone knows how come this code is not working in IE7?

on(release)
{
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_self");
}

this code is on a button which i did for testing n found tht it's not working.the button resides on a page and upon clicking it,it should link to google.but nothing happens.

any idea?
