Redirecting to local html page from javascript in phonegap

Question

I am working on phonegap application. I am trying to login and on click of the submit button in the Login.html i should be redirected to a local html file.

Login.html

<tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>
        <input type="submit" class="submitbtn" name="submit"
            id="submit" value="Login" onclick="loginCheck()">
    </td>
</tr>

loginValidation.js

if (validCustomer == true) {

    alert("valid customer........");
    document.location.href("file:///android_asset/www/Category.html"); 

But document.location.href or window.location/window.open doesn't work. Can anybody help on this issue? If i use window.open and run the application in emulator it works fine but not in the device.

Answer 1

you can try this

window.open("mainpage.html",'_self');

this will open page in current window so that current window page data get flush and new page data will render in same window page dom.

Answer 2

try using relative path, this should work:

window.location="Category.html";
