Ajax :: Why Window.location Didn't Work In Firfox?
Feb 9, 2010
I have written the following javascript code using Ajax.After successful login, the page should navigate to index.html. It works perfectly in all IE versions. But i didn't worked in Firefox.In place of setTimeout( function(){ window.location=url; },10);, i tried all the following but there is no effect.
1) window.location directly with timeout
2)window.location.href.
3) kept sleep function to sleep for 1,2 seconds
but when i removed the set timeout and placed alert, it successfully navigated to new page in firefox.
i am trying to redirect user from onchange event to another location in the page. its work fine in IE but not in firefox why window.location doesn't work in FF ?
<input type="reset" name="cancel" value="Cancel" onclick="javascript:window.location.href('/index.php');" /> In IE5.5 clicking the cancel button loads the index.php page fine. In Firefox 1.0 & also the version of IE running on my IPAQ it doesn't work - clicking the button doesn't do anything.
Anyone have any ideas or alternative solutions? I thought maybe I was using an IE only thing but it is a version of IE on the IPAQ. I thought maybe it was not standards compliant but I haven't found anyone having a similar problem.
Any idea or advice? TIA, BG.
PS Ignore that I am using a reset button to do this - I have also tried it in the body tag like this:
Code:
<body onload="javascript:alert('Login Successfull! You are logged into my app');window.location.href('/myapp/index.php');">
I have a popup that contains a form. When I submit that form, I need 1) the data to get saved into my database, 2) the popup to close, and 3) the parent window to refresh and display the updated data.
I found the following code in an old thread, but the parent window still shows the old data after it appears to reload. The data is saved in the database, but the parent window only shows the updated data when I manually refresh it by hitting F5.
I don't really know how to say this, that's why I'm going to show you some code which will hopefully point out what I mean.This is what I wrote yesterday:
var div = $('<div></div>').attr('id','box').fadeIn(1250); $('body').append(div);
This worked well, but then I wanted to make a function to be able to change the innerHTML of that div but it didn't work.
function changeContent(content) { var box = $('#box'); box.html(content);
Danged if I can find the thread, but I swear I saw a $.url() reference in here a day or two ago. It was beingutilized for parsing out the window.location or window.location.search parameters. I made a mental note because that was something I would be needing to do.
Now I can't find it, either because the search isn't finding it or I was dreaming about this function existing.
I rummaged about the API docs and didn't find it there either. Is it something provided by one of the plugins and not a function native to jQuery?
I'm using window.showModalDialog but having an issue trying to set the parent window(main browser). I open modal window A which is then opens modal window B, top of modal window B onload I do window.opener.close()". My issue now is when i'm finished with B I set parent window(main browser) to a new url with window.opener.location. So my problem is modal window A the parent has been closed so window.opener.location will not work.
Basically, my problem is exactly as described in the subject. The problem is somewhat intermittent and unpredictable, but the majority of the time if I just have a statement such as
window.onload=location.hash('somewhere');
the URL is indeed appended, i.e. www.example.com/index.php#somewhere, but window itself doesn't actually move to the bookmark. However, if I do something like
it works fine. On very large pages, the timeout actually has to be a second or two. Any idea why this is happening? I don't know much about JS, but my thought is that it's trying to move to that bookmark before it has actually been loaded in the page; the timeout forces it to wait for the rest of the page to load before going to the bookmark.
function subCat(){ var d = document.all; var i = d.sid.value; if(i != "-1"){ window.location = "subcat.php?sid="+i; } }
That is called on the following drop down menu: <select name="sid" class="dropBox" id="sid" onChange="javascript:subCat()"> <option value="-1">Please Select</option> <option value="1">category 1</option> <option value="2">category 2</option> <option value="3">category 3</option> <option value="4">category 4</option> </select>
It works fine in IE but not in Mozilla Firefox, what do i need to chnage to make it work correctly?
I'm working on a page that uses javascript very much. My problem is now that i cannot redirect to another page in IE with window.location =<URL>; This command gets executed (proofed with alert messages) but nothing happens. FF acts like expected but i cant get it work in IE. What can be the problem here?
The following JS script works fine in FF and IE7. It fails though in IE6, which happens to be my target audience. Whats failing is.. the window.location is not calling.
function confirmation(text,url_link) { var answer = confirm(text) if (answer){ window.location = url_link; }
I am doing my final year project. I am trying to access webpages via javascript. while i am doing this i open a new window to display webpages.And i have to get the url from child window while i am navigating the webpages. I have tried to get the url from child window after the new window is opened. But i get the null value as a result.[code]
I have a inventory control program written and I use window.opener.location='filename.html' window.close()
It works fine in ie6 on windows 98 and XP home but sometimes for users with XP professional it crashes ie6 (wants to send a error reports to microsoft and the closes)
I was wondering if it could be that professionals "mutil" processing causing a problem by 1 process excuting before the other?
This may sound dumb but this is what I want and I am not sure how to frame it better. I see window.location.replace() creating problem with my "Back" browser button. This is because, location.replace() actually replaces the url in the history with the one currently given. So if I click on "Back" button after going to an url using window.location.replace, it goes to the previous-1 page.
Is there any measure to avoid this? Or do we have an alternative function that does the same action without replacing history?
I'm popping a window to a page with a different dns than the parent, and i want the opener's location reloaded when this window is closed.
With Mozilla it seems that all the opener's methods and properties are protected because the dns are different. A security exception (permission denied) is thrown every time i try to exec an "opener.location.reload()" from the pop up window.
An alternative would be catching the window closing from the opener, but i don't know how this could be done.
