Change page with a function.

[yolond]

I haven't known javascript that long, but I must have gone brain dead because I'm sure this is an easy task.

I have a function that if conditions return true, will open up a new page in a pop-up window. How do I also get it to change the page in the current window?

window.location="page1.htm" jared@aauser.com

Hmm, I tried that. I still get my pop-up window, but the main window remains changed. Here's the code:

if (form.emailaddr.value == "&quot{
alert('Email address required to play.');
form.emailaddr.focus();
return false;
}
else{
window.open(theLocation,'newWin','height=520,width=760,scrollbars=1,location=0');
window.location="

http://www.redhotsweeps.com/"

return true;
}

try: [red]self.location.href="

http://www.redhotsweeps.com/"

Nope. That didn't work either. =(

i assume you are doing this in the onsubmit handler. try this instead:

function thesub()
{
if (document.formname.emailaddr.value == "&quot{
alert('Email address required to play.');
document.formname.emailaddr.focus();
return false;
}
else{
window.open("

http://msdn.microsoft.com",'newWin','height=520,width=760,scrollbars=1,location=0');

window.location="

http://www.redhotsweeps.com/";

return false;
}
}

</script>

<form name=&quot;formname&quot;>
<input name=&quot;emailaddr&quot;><input type=&quot;button&quot; onClick=&quot;thesub()&quot;>
</form> jared@aauser.com

Does it give you an error?

no, I think he was doing it onsubmit and it was just refreshing the page because he was returning true i think jared@aauser.com
