Question

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

$j(function() {
    //alert("testing");
    //alert($().SPServices.SPGetCurrentSite());
    var username = "";
    var username = $j().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser();
    //alert (username);
    //alert (window.location.href);

if ((username="DOMAIN\username") && (window.location.href="http://godzilla/SitePages/Home.aspx"))
{
window.location = "http://godzilla/central/broadstreet/default.aspx";
}
return false;
else {
return false;
}
});

The IF statement should only fire if both conditions are true and quit forever once done.

Testing in Chrome gives the impression it never stops running because the X and reload buttons keep flashing and the if statement also seems to fire even on other site pages — that is, it tries to redirect again…

What am I doing wrong?? I eventually need multiple if evaluations for multiple user name

You have a syntax error SyntaxError: malformed Unicode character escape sequence at username = "Domain\username". If you escape the \ by making it \\ it should get rid of that. Plus unless you want to assign Domain\username to username you should probably use == rather than the assignment operator =

if ((username=="Domain\\username") && (window.location.href=="http://godzilla/SitePages/Home.aspx"))
{
    window.location = "http://godzilla/central/broadstreet/default.aspx";
}
else {
   return false;
}
