Why isnt window.location.href= not forwarding to page using Safari?

Question

My site lets users login via the Fb button, I'm using the FB / Parse.com JDK for this https://parse.com/docs/js/guide#users-facebook-users

Once the user has been identified, the below code logs the user in and forwards them onto a url. This works as expected under Chrome, but will not work using Safari, the page just stays on the fb.html page which is blank

I've seen that there were some historic issues with

window.location.href=

But, can't find a fix that works for my solution. Does anyone know a way around this?

Parse.FacebookUtils.logIn(null, {
    success: function(user) {
        if (!user.existed()) {

        } else {
            window.location.href="user_home.html";

        }
    },
    error: function(user, error) {

    }
});

Answer 1

I had this happening to me as well on safari and found this post but found another solution I wanted to add with lots of browser support. Instead of replacing the current location use the method that is on the location object called assign()

document.location.assign(document.location.origin + "/user_home.html")

This also works

location.assign(location.origin + "/user_home.html")

Tested in Chrome and safari on desktop and mobile iOS devices

Answer 2

Best way work in all browsers:

setTimeout(function(){document.location.href = "user_home.html";},250);

Answer 3

I think you need to use...

window.location = 'user_home.html';
