This is my ajax call: <body onload = "${remoteFunction(controller:'accountManagement', action:'createAccount',
params:[facebookUID: params.facebookUID, gender: params.gender, firstName: params.firstName, lastName: params.lastName])}">

In my controller I have a redirect instruction at the end: 

def createAccount = {

    if(user.save(flush:true) == null){
        ... 
    }
    else{
        ....

        for(int i = 0; i < categories.length; i++){
            ...
        }

        println "save to database: successful"

    }

    // Redirect to index action of person controller.
    redirect(controller:'user', action: 'authenticate');


}
`

It does not redirect. Instead, it stays on the same loading page that it started on.

    Browsers won’t redirect if an AJAX call returns a redirect. If you want to send the user to a new page after an AJAX call, you’ll need to do so yourself in Javascript. Example:

    def url = createLink(controller: 'user', action: 'authenticate')
render(contentType: 'text/html', text: "<script>window.location.href='$url'</script>")

    Ensure the AJAX response gets rendered by the browser. With the grails remoteFunction tag you should specify an element to update with the update attribute.
