javascript window redirect doesn't work in chrome ((canceled) - status )

Question

I'm trying to do a redirect using the below code:

<script  type="text/javascript">
window.location.href = "http://google.com"
</script>

FF and IE work as they should. Chrome doesn't.

The request above to http://google.com, gets a 'canceled' status in Chrome browser > Development tools > "Network".

I've tried several other functions:

location.href = url
location.replace(url)
document.location = url
location.assign(url)
window.open(url, '_self')

Same code pasted within a local html file works fine.

Below is the redirect request that it's canceled by chrome: http://pastebin.com/hD36M1RG

Any clues? Thanks

Answer 1

Try without window., it helped in my case. I had used location.assign() instead of window.location.assign() and worked.

Answer 2

I was doing the same thing. A quick patch was to add a little delay before the redirect using setTimeout.
