Question

What Am I trying to do: redirection to home page and to previous page with id.

Whats going wrong: fails to work in IE (9) works on Firefox.

What I have tried:

On click events:

<input type="hidden" id="product_id" value="<?php echo $_GET['product_id']; ?>" />
        <td><input type="submit" value="Update" onClick="update(); return false;" /></td>     
        <td><input type="submit" value="Go Back" onClick="redirect('go back'); return false;" /></td>
        <td><input type="submit" value="Done" onClick="redirect('home'); return false;" /></td>

redirect function:

function redirect(redirect){


    var id = $('#product_id').val();    

    if (redirect == "go back"){
        window.location.href = 'displayProduct.php?product_id='+id;
    }
    else if (redirect == "home"){
        window.location.href = 'index.php';
    }

}

I also tried adding a alert('1'); inside the redirect function which doesn’t appear to be firing in IE.

Am I missing something..?

It is possible IE is throwing an error on this line:

var id = $('#product_id').val();

Which could be preventing further execution. If you don’t already, make sure script debugging is not disabled in IE as well as show errors is turned on:
