Apparently it's a caching bug, you can solve it by appending a timestamp to the destination URL (that is, using a "unique" URL every time).

Answer 2

Cache may be the reason, try:

location.href='something.php?tmp=' + Date.parse(new Date())

Hope it helps

Answer 3

I was also experiencing the same problem but found that adding

window.event.returnValue = false;

above line in the javascript before the redirection resolved the problem.

Answer 4

You should use an absolute URL:

var url = '/section/page/';
var host = window.location.hostname;
window.location = 'http://' + host + url;

Where url is the relative path to your page.

Answer 5

Perhaps your IE9 has some security restrictions in place that prevent JavaScript from directing URL's. window.location.href = "" should work normally on IE9.
