I would like to change the URL that appears once a form has been submitted although the code below does not appear to do what I would like it to do. How do I change the URL in the address bar?

CODE

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XMHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us" />

    <title>sample form</title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="" />

    <script type="text/javascript">

        var testurl = window.location.href;
        if(testurl == "file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/sample_form.html?q=test&submit=submit") {
            testurl = testurl.replace(/q=[^&]+&[a-z]+\=[a-z]+/,'test');
            alert(testurl);
        }

    </script>

    Try the following:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var testurl = document.URL;
    if(testurl == "file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/sample_form.html?q=test&submit=submit") {
        testurl = testurl.replace(/q=[^&]+&[a-z]+\=[a-z]+/,'test');
        window.location.href = testurl;
    }

</script>

    A note:

    Use window.location for read and write access to the location object
    associated with the current frame. If you just want to get the address
    as a read-only string, you may use document.URL, which should contain
    the same value as window.location.href
