Using window.location to redirect user

kevink · Sep 19, 2000

I want to redirect the user to a different page depending on what type of choices they make on a form using javascript (client side).

Does anyone know how to do this - or whats wrong with the code below?

<head>
<script language="javascript">
function formChoice(theform) {
window.location = "newpage.htm"
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="ex" onsubmit="formchoice(this)">
.....

Naturally the actual script has if statements etc. which are left out here!

TIA,

What results are you getting? FYI, when using an onsubmit handler, you should always assure that you can get a return value. If you don't, or if the return value is false, then the form won't get submitted. Also note that the onsubmit event only fires if you use a submit button to submit the form. If you do the submit in Javascript, there's no onsubmit event.

Seeing a little more of the code will help. [sig]<p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=
