window.location Problem in IE

Question

I have this simple code that is working fine in every browser, but NOT in IE (every version).

 window.setTimeout('window.location = \"http://www.domain/modules/yobilab/copyright/classes/GO_overview.php?refNumb=".$RefNumb."\"', 3000);
            return false;

In every browser it will go to the right link

In IE instead it includes also the Link where it comes from, so it will become something like this:

http://www.domain/PAGEWHEREIWAS/modules/yobilab/copyright/classes/GO_overview.php?refNumb=something

Why it is doing so?

It generates a NOT FOUND error obviously.

Answer 1

Try using document.location instead of window.location.

Answer 2

You need to create an anonymous function:

setTimeout(function() {window.location = "http://www.domain/modules/yobilab/copyright/classes/GO_overview.php?refNumb=12"}, 3000);
