Why my function doesn´t redirect using window.location.href?

Question

I have a function in javascript linked to a form that check cookies and log in, so when it does all the checks and everithing is ok it shows a confirm popup and if the user clicks in ok it should link to another internal page but it doesn´t, I mean, it shows the confirm popup but it doesn´t redirect. I have tried window.location.href and window.location.replace but nothing works.

function checkCookies() {





    var emailValue = document.getElementById("nombre").value;

      var passValue = document.getElementById("pass1").value;


      var correct_email = checkCookie("email", emailValue);
      var correct_pass = checkCookie("pass", passValue);

      if (correct_email == -1) {
        alert("Password or email are wrong")
      } else if (correct_pass == -1) {
        alert("Password or email are wrong")

      } else if (correct_pass === correct_email) {
        alert("Log in succesfully")
        window.location.href = "principal.html";
      } else {
        alert("Password or email are wrong")
      }
    }

Answer 1

If you see

Log in succesfully

On the screen and then nothing happens, try to replace this line:

window.location.href = "principal.html";

with

location.assign("/principal.html");

I assume that /principal.html is in the same directory we're currently in while checking cookies or in the root.

Answer 2

Try

document.location.replace("principal.html").

also, what error are you getting?
