What is the difference between:
location.href = "http://url/"
window.location.href = "http://url/"
and
window.location = "http://url/"
??
What is the best way to direct the browser to a new page using javascript and have it work across all browsers?
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 am trying to open up a new window and then get the current url/location
back from the (win_1) window and display the url in an alert box.
Here is the code I am using :-
<script type="text/javascript">
var mywin_1 = open ("http://www.anysite.com/index.htm", "win_1",
"height=640, width=820, left=200, top=0, scrollbars, status, location");
var temp = mywin_1.location;
alert (temp);
</script>
Where am I going wrong?
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.

<select size="10" name="select_list1[]" id="select_list1[]" MULTIPLE>
<select size="10" name="select_list2[]" id="select_list2[]" MULTIPLE>
This is the function call:

<script language="javascript">
function ConfirmPage() {
window.location.href="http://ConfirmationPage.htm";
return false;
}
</script>
How can I use this script to display a page in my current directory? It woriks fine when using a domain such as yahoo.com or google.com.
i have the following script:
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?
here the code i use:
this.NodeSelected = function( node ) {
if ( node.Value != null && node.Value != "" ) {
window.location = node.Value;
}
}
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 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.
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]
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
why window.location.href or window.location javascript functions doesn't
work on mac browsing IE
as i know href is a property of location but location.href(url) works
fine with IE 6. i couldn't figure out how its possible? is it a kind of
browser syntax-tolerance helping it to work? how the heck is this
working?
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.
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 ?

I'm currently paying for a web service on a hosted platform. Basically, I'm unable to edit any raw content, however I am able to do things like add JS/HTML to the header or footer of a page, which will in turn be displayed on every page of this platform. My dilemma is, I only want content being showed on a single page of the platform. Specifically, I want a window.alert being displayed on the "/signup" page, but all I have to work with is JS in a global footer.Is there some way I can use window.location to achieve this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the window.opener.location code from a link on my popup window to change the webpage in the window that opened my popup. It works on ie/firefox, but doesnt work on safari.
function changepage(id) {
window.opener.focus();
//window.opener.location('http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id='+id);
window.opener.location.pathname = 'index.php?id=' + id;
self.close();
return false;
}
Now i've tried the link with both <a href="#" changepage(35);"> and <a href="javascript:changepage(32);"> but safari doesnt want to touch the opener page. Do you know of any workaround/hack to get this to work? If not, is there a way to check to see if the user has safari and change the code to opening the page in a new window?

I am a new Javascript user and have a question i cant seem to get my teacher to explain to me (darn online classes). My problem is i am being instructed to [URL].. to the body of my file to create a link to another file. The instructions say i cant add an html a tag for the link and I'm not really sure how to make this work without it. Here is what I have so far....(note there are a bunch of other things i need to accomplish in this and i think i probably just dont have things in the right order and I'm not sure where the onclick tag needs to sit within the javascript sections)..

i want to hide the location bar in popup window is there any way?

Looking for a script that will start a website at a custom location (ie. www.yoursite.com starts page at top: 800px, left: 400px)
The ideal script would position this point in the center of the browser window.
fixing window.location.href on localpath is not working in Firefox only but working fine in IE.
