window not redirecting correctly in Seamonkey

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 07.2009

I can’t get the window to redirect to the correct page in Seamonkey. It works fine in Firefox and IE.

Here is a simple version of what I have:

[CODE]
//html code…
<body onunload=”myFunction()”>
//html code…

function myFunction() {
var test = “www.mysite.com/here/there/everywhere”;
window.top.location.href = test;
}[/CODE]

window.top.location.href doesn’t seem to be working correctly because it goes to “www.mysite.com” instead of “www.mysite.com/here/there/everywhere”

I’ve tried returning “false” and returning the url like “onunload=’window.top.location.href=myFunction()'”
Neither worked.

Any ideas?

Once it gets to "window.top.location.href" is it suppose to keep executing any code after that? Because it is.

@toicontienJan 08.2009 — Seamonkey is probably blocking this behavior, as it might be viewed as hijacking the browser away from user control. What if the user types "www.google.com" in their address bar on your page? They want to go to Google, but you're not going to allow them? What if you are redirecting people to a malware site? Because of this, Seamonkey is probably blocking that from ever happening because you are trying to redirect the user when the user has chosen to leave the page -- meaning they already have a destination in mind and you are not allowing them to get there.

Success!
