Location.href Ignores Assignment And Loads A Blank Page
Jul 20, 2005
I have a webpage(with a text field and a button) which prompts for a
local file and attempts to load the file in the window if the user
clicks on the button. The javascript code onClick event uses the
location.href property to achieve the desired result. (This loaded
page has some additional functionality which lets them upload the
contents to the server.)
This approach only seem to work for some computers and on others it is
loading a blank page. I have alerts in the code to show that
location.href is correctly reflecting the file location after the
assignment. When it is loading the blank page I see the message
"Opening page about:blank" on the status bar. Iam currently using IE6
sp1 on Win2k. This issue is not just limited to this combination. We
are experiencing issues with IE5.5, WinXP as well.
The code works if I pass a web site address. It only fails if I
attempt to pass a file name(c: est.htm)
Any thoughts on why the blank page is being loaded or how can I go
about resolving this issue.

Basically, I have a link that should open the targeted link in a blank page, and upon the link being clicked, the original page's URL should be changed. The reason for this is that the user has to browse information on another website, and then pass the information on to me via a contact form, so rather than make them click back on my tab in the browser, and then find the "Contact" page link to fill in the form, I thought it would a good feature to simply go ahead and load the "Contact" page upon them clicking the link to the external page (which of course loads in a new tab). Here is the code I have in place:
Code JavaScript:
<a href="http://www.othersite.com/" target="_blank" onclick="window.location.href='http://www.mysite.com/contactus.php';">Other Site</a>
This all works fine on my computer, regardless of the browser that I use. One of my partners on this project called me this morning and said that the link was taking him directly to the "Contact" page without opening the "Other Site." This is strange because after I put this in place, I showed it to him and it worked fine. Now, a few days later, and it does not work. He said that he cleared his browser cache, history, cookies, etc. and the problem did not go away. He uses IE8. After he told me it was no longer working, I went to test it myself, and it works fine for me no matter which browser I use (IE8 or 9, Firefox 3 or 4 Beta).
why this might have worked one day and not the next? Is it simply a problem on his computer, or could it be an issue where based on what type of browser you are using, this won't work. Also, I know this is the JavaScript forum, but is there a way to do this in PHP without using the JavaScript onclick event? Obviously, I can't use the header() function since this functionality needs to be present on a link within text of a page.

I am trying to make a floating "drag-able" navigation box that will seem not to reload between pages. I hope this make sense
The navigation is in a floating box that can be dragged as well as collapsed. And when you go from page to page the box will remain in the same location and in the same state (open or collapsed) ultimately creating the illusion that the nav box doesn't reload. Can this be done with JS? If so is the way to maintain the location with cookies or is there another way?

I know next to nothing about javascript and I don't even know if this is possible. I need to target window.location.href to an iframe on a different page. So, right now, the piece of the code that redirects the browser looks like this: window.location.href='http://www.somewhere.com/'; Works great, brings it up in the same browser window. So now I need to modify the code so it goes to a different page and brings that page up in a specified iframe.

I'm trying to create a player stats page, for my gaming server. I spoke to a guy who knows a little about javascript, and he told me there's a way to use document.location.href to direct to a custom page URL.
For example, if I search for a name, and the results are displayed. I want to click the players username, and be directed to. [url] without the "username.html" actually existing.
I heard it's possible, and it would save me a lot of time because I don't want to have 20,000+ individual pages, one for each username.

It seems like when I load javascript code into a page, that each item I add, such as an accordian vertical navbar, image slider, etc, that each time I add one, the page loads a second or so slower with each one added. I would like some of these features, but is this just a part of life, or are there tricks to avoid the slower load time? It is not major time but after the 2 items I mentioned, it added on about 2 seconds.
I read that $(document).ready(function() might slow me down but I do not see that statement in any of my .js files.

I have a couple of links of which I change location.href for tracking purposes.
The problem is that the links now no longer seem to open in a new window (which was accomplished using target="_blank")
Is this an error on my part or is this by design? Is there a workaround? I would prefer not to use window.open as that could get blocked by a popup blocker.

I'm passing the asp parameters using the url current page is files.asp and I'm using window.location.href=files.asp?action=deletefile to pass the action to the serverside
My code never got executed (like the page was cached) unless i put document.write("") before the window.location directive.
Here's the code:
function confirmDelete(x){
var potvrda=confirm("Kliknite OK za brisanje. Cancel za povratak.");
if (potvrda==true) {
trans="files.asp?action="+x;
document.write("")
window.location.href=trans;
}
else {}
}

I'm trying to use the onload event to load a series of urls.
What I find is that the onload function is only called one time
no matter how large the array. Here is the onload function.
var next_win = 0;
var win = window.open("", "", "");
function nextWin() {
if (next_win < urls.length) {
win.
win.location.href=urls[next_win++];
}}
Is this correct behavior?

i have a really stupid problem with this line of code:
location.href = "showreport.php?id=" + sText;
sText is an id of a job that's running on the server.
Showreport.php retrieves the job and outputs the result in HTML. At the same
time job is removed from the server.
What happens is that some browsers (IE 6 mostly) like to GET the
showreport.php TWICE. Of course the second time there is no job any more and
the result returned is of zero length, which is very unpleasant ;-)
Headers sent by the browsers are (1st call):
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
application/x-shockwave-flash, */*
Accept-Language: sl
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)
Host: veliswork
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cookie: PHPSESSID=tsghl22ijg4f6ba7a2mthggun6
Headers sent by the browsers are (2nd call):
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322)
Host: veliswork
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cookie: PHPSESSID=tsghl22ijg4f6ba7a2mthggun6
Note the Accept tag.
What's even more interesting, the accept tag of IE 6.0 that does not request
twice is:
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel,
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*
Note the (still) absent application/pdf, which is the target content here.
Can somebody explain to me, why two calls and if that can be prevented. I
can reduce the problem by keeping the job for another minute or so, but
these jobs tend to be rather large (>10MB RAM usage) when large reports are
generated.

I use this code to create a banner that contains text:
<table of banner...
because it makes the whole banner a link. If I do it this way:
<table><tr><td ><a href='http://URL' target='_blank'>text of banner...
only the text is the link and if someone puts their cursor over a non-text area they might no realize they can click on it.
In the second example, however, I use target='_blank' to open up a new window.
My question is, is there a way to use the first method and open a new window.

Code:
url = parent.location.href;
Why does that not work? adding that line gives me a javascript error of some sort in IE. I see nothing wrong with it. Yet if I take that out I don't get the error, if I put it in I get the error.
Its in an IFRAME by the way.

I have a pop up window, that window needs to refresh the parent window when opened, I'm doing the following:
window.opener.location.href(window.opener.location .href);
problem I'm having is that the parent url has a # sign in it, like:
http://localhost/mysite/me.html#01
i need the #01 to stay in the url after the refresh, anyway to do
this? i tried using escape(window.opener.location.href) but that
didn't work, as it escaped everything including the :// in http://
i also tried:
window.opener.location.href(window.opener.location .protocol + "//" +
window.opener.location.hostname + window.opener.location.pathname);
problem with that was i lost the #01 in the url, pathname didn't
include it.

Ok I have tried and tried and cannot get this code to work in safari or google chrome.
Basically I am working on a shopping cart. The user will click the paypal pay now button. The form is submitted to paypal via a new window target="_blank"
I also need to refresh the current page. This will write shopping cart data to DB via php upon page refresh.
Safari and google Chrome will open the paypal window, but seems to ignore the javascript to refresh the browser.
FF and IE both work fine.
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function newPage() {
self.location.href='https://www.artists2you.com/s/orderconfirm.php?ordernumber='.$_SESSION['ordernumber'].'';
[Code]....

I am creating a send to a friend link on my site. The link will open a pop up window, which contains a form.
I have a function that opens the centered pop up window, and it is called like so (the function declaration resides in an external script):
Code:
onClick="newWindow('http://www.mysite.com/send.php','',âÆ',ò“','')"
I now need to append the current page's URL to the end of the URL ike so:
onClick="newWindow('http://www.mysite.com/send.php?page=xxx','',âÆ',ò“','')"
This is sso that I can then use PHP in the pop up toget the variable from the query string.
I know that I can use location.href to get the current page url, but am not sure how I would include it in the onClick.
I have tried the following:
onClick="newWindow('http://www.mysite.com/send.php?page=location.href','',âÆ',ò“','')"
but that doenst work...
Has anybody got any ideas?

I guess this is an easy question for all javascripters but I don't know how to manage (I'm pretty fresh with JS). I found two solutions on this forum but it seems that they don't work(?).I want to delay for few seconds window.location.href="destination_site.html" before it will automatically take visitor to destination site. It has something to do with setTimeout but I would be greatful for posting a fixed code.

I need to change the location of the parent window and after
that scroll a little bit (because of "position:fixed" css buttons,
which obscure the title).
I have
window.opener.location.href = "newhreflabel";
window.opener.scrollBy(0, -25);
The newhreflabel may point to the same document or load
a new one (another chapter).
There is a problem is with timing, T think I need to
serialize those two instructions.
However, the window.opener.document.onload does not seem to
be trigered by href change. Is there any other way how to
do it - or I have ti all wrong?
