windows.location.href not working on Firefox3

Question

We have a JavaScript function named \"move\" which does just \"windows.location.href = any given anchor\".
This function works on IE, Opera and Safari, but so

Answer 1

please add full javascript script tag

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script>

Answer 2

Maybe it's just a typo in your post and not in your code, but it's window and not windows

Answer 3

If you are trying to call this javascript code after an event that is followed by a callback then you must add another line to your function:

function JSNavSomewhere()
{
    window.location.href = myUrl;
    return false;
}

in your markup for the page, the control that calls this function on click must return this function's value

<asp:button ........ onclick="return JSNavSomewhere();" />

The false return value will cancel the callback and the redirection will now work. Why this works in IE? Well I guess they were thinking differently on the issue when they prioritized the redirection over the callback.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

I am not sure to follow you.
I just tried: going with FF3 to Lua 5.1 Reference Manual (long and with lot of anchors).
Pasting javascript:window.location.href="#2.5"; alert(window.location.href); in the address bar, I went to the right anchor and it displayed the right URL. Works also with a full URL, of course.
Alternative code: javascript:(function () { window.location.href="#2.5"; })();

Perhaps you forgot the #. Common problem, also with image maps.

Answer 5

Another option:

document.location.href ="..."

Answer 6

window.location.hash = "#gallery";
