Window.Location Not Working In IE?

Question

I have been trying to figure this out all afternoon, but have given up and now turning to you clever people to help :)

I have the following Jquery/Javascript function, which is working fine in Chrome - BUT in IE nothing happens?

    $(".btnsubmitpost").click(function () {
    var topicid = $(this).attr('rel');
    var sbody = tinyMCE.get('txtPost').getContent();
    $('.topicpostlistnewpost').remove();
    $('.postsuccess').show();
    $.post("/myurl/" + topicid + ".aspx",
           { "postcontent": sbody },
            function (data) {
                var returnUrl = $("value", data).text();
                window.location.href = returnUrl;
                return false;
            });
    return false;
});

I have tried window.location, window.location.href both with full urls and absolute Urls but IE just doesn't like it? Any ideas?

The function just gets a Url back from a post, and is supposed to redirect the user to the Url. But like I say, works in Chrome fine just not in IE (Tried IE8 and IE9)

Just for anyone having the same issue, the problem was because the window.location was inside the Ajax post method.

Just replace the window.location with a function() that then calls the window.location or do it after the Ajax call completely.
