window.location Does Not Work on Chrome Browser [closed]

Question

I have a javascript function that uses window.location. It works fine in Firefox and internet Explorer, but not in Chrome. I've tested this on both Ubunutu Hardy and Windows Vista. What is the underlying problem, and how can I circumvent it?

Answer 1

The most common use of window.location is to make the browser load a new page. A common error is to assign the URL to the window.location object instead of it's property href. So, the correct way to do it is:

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

Answer 2

Try appending "return false;" to your javascript call like so...

window.location.href='google.com;
return false;
