Feb 19.2009

hi guys can you tell me which is the best way
to perform a javascript redirect that will work
with all the major browsers – IE, FF, CHROME,etc?

[CODE]var url = “http://www.whatever.com”;

window.location = url;

or

location.href = url;[/CODE]

any suggestions?

@MrRedFeb 19.2009 — I seem to be the first to answer this question often - try searching older threads first it will save you time.
self.location.replace("http://cresby.com"); in a frame

orparent.location.replace("http://stroudceilidhs.co.uk"); for replacing a all (eg frameset).

@bsmbahamasauthorFeb 19.2009 — i used window.location.href = "http://www.abc.com";

seems to work with with ot without 'self' or 'window' too.

i know several ways to do it, and was mostly concerned with

finding which way would work in the major browsers.

Success!
