When would you set location to a URL string versus setting location.href?
location = "http://www.stackoverflow.com"; vs
location.href = "http://www.stackoverflow.com"; Mozilla Developer Network Reference

The Location href property in HTML is used to set or return the complete URL of the current page. The Location href property can also be used to set the href value point to another website or point to an email address.
The location. href property sets or returns the entire URL of the current page.
You might set location directly because it's slightly shorter. If you're trying to be terse, you can usually omit the window. too.
URL assignments to both location.href and location are defined to work in JavaScript 1.0, back in Netscape 2, and have been implemented in every browser since. So take your pick and use whichever you find clearest.
