Difference between commandButton's onClick and action that returns a PageReference

I want to go to a standard page layout (new record edit mode) from clicking on a button in a VF page. I got this to work by using onClick and adding a script in there with the URL of the page I want to go to. Can this be achieved using PageReference (redirect)? Thanks.

Hi Manoj, 

I tried doing it with this code:

  public Pagereference goToPageB()
  {
      Pagereference pr = new Pagereference('url here');
                pr.setRedirect(true);
          return pr;
  }

But it doesn't seem to work. The page does not go to a different page. I put the same URL in onClick and it works. Do I miss something here?
