Question

I have a JQUERY function as follows

this.getURL = function()
{
    var name = getName();
    alert("Menu.aspx?name"+name);
    //window.location = "Menu.aspx?name"+name;
}

When I alert the URL I am attempting to go to, it is correct. However, when I call window.location on that string, the page just refreshes without going anywhere.

I have similar code where I have used window.location and it works. I typed in the url into my browser and it works as well.

At worst (even if the URL was wrong), I was hoping that it would just redirect me to some URL. However, I can’t get it to do anything other than refresh the current page.

Also to clarify, the page which calls this function is not Menu.aspx

Thanks in advance.

If you’re using a relative path try setting window.location.pathname, otherwise set window.location.href for a full path.

You may also want to try self.location.href
