Firefox window.location not working

[Phi1Smith]

Hi
Could someone tell me why this doesn't work in Firefox, its ok in IE6.

if (username=="name1" && password=="123456") {loggedin=true; window.location="page1.html";}

To check the rest of the script I tried this and it worked in both Firefox and IE6.
if (username=="name1" && password=="123456") {loggedin=true; alert("Correct");}

The redirect url is correct and if I put the full url in that also doesn't work. The script is serverside.

All that appears to happens is the page refreshes, can't find anything about it on mozilla.

Many Thanks

Phil, Firefox fan.

what do you mean the script is serverside? JS runs on the client...

Ok its in a .js file not the main document

Could you show more complete code? I just tested window.location = '

http://www.google.com/'

in FF 1.0 PR and it worked fine.

Hi cLFlaVa
HTML PART
<FORM id="login" name="login" onSubmit="mclogin(document.forms.login.userid.value, document.forms.login.pass.value)">
USERNAME&nbsp;<INPUT id="userid" type="text">&nbsp;
PASSWORD&nbsp;<INPUT id="pass" type="password">
<BUTTON onclick=submit()>Login</BUTTON>

SCRIPT
function mclogin(username, password){loggedin=false;
username=username.toLowerCase();
password=password.toLowerCase();

if (username=="name1" && password=="123456") {loggedin=true; window.location = '

http://www.google.com/';}

if (loggedin==false) {alert("Login failed!\n\nPlease supply new credentials.");}
}


Thanks for the interest

Phil

Try using

window.location[red].replace([/red]"page1.html"[red])[/red];

Hi Chessbot

Still no joy, I tried that earlier, just tried it again in case I did it wrong earlier.

here's firefox version
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Think I'm upto date

Thanks

Phil
