window.location problem

Question

I am facing on strange problem in ie6.

When i am using window.location to redirect page through javascript it works fine in all browser except ie6.

It works in ie 6 if i place just like below:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:window.location('http://www.demo.com');">demo</a>

but its not working for below code.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:redirect();>demo</a>
function redirect()
{
  window.location('http://www.demo.com');"
}

can you please figure out that whats problem here.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The javascript: protocol is only used if you have Javascript code in an URL. If you put it in an event handler it becomes a label instead.

The location member is not a function, it's an object. Set the href property to change the location.

You have an extra quotation mark after the code line in the function, which is probably causing a syntax error.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="redirect();>demo</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect() {
  window.location.href = 'http://www.demo.com';
}
</script>

Answer 2

How about doing this:

<a href="#" onclick="redirect(); return false;">
  demo
</a>

Answer 3

如果要在用户单击链接时将页面重定向到demo.html ，我敢建议您使用通用的跨浏览器<a href="demo.html">demo</a>吗？

Answer 4

Try:

window.event.returnValue = false; document.location.href='http://www.demo.com';

Answer 5

Try:

window.location.href = 'http://www.demo.com';

in the function.
