window.location with ie5 and win98 doesn't work

[jtduckman]

Hi,
I can't seem to get window.location to redirect to another page on a machine with ie5 and win98. the page works fine on a machine with xp and ie6.
here is my code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;Javascript&quot;>

function chkDelete(xpara){
if (confirm(&quot;Are you sure you want to Delete this Item?&quot) {
window.location.href = &quot;deleteitem.asp?item=&quot; + xpara;
}
else {
alert(&quot;Delete cancelled&quot;
}

}
</SCRIPT>

in the body i use:

response.write &quot;<a href='#' onclick='chkDelete(&quot; & i & &quot'><img src='graphics/trash_transwh.gif' border=0></a>&quot;

I tried using a complete URL and that didn't work.
I tried using window.location.href and that didn't work.

Has anyone seen this or know of a fix?

Thanks in advance.

Try changing the href in your link:

response.write &quot;<a href='javascript:chkDelete(&quot; & i & &quot'><img src='graphics/trash_transwh.gif' border=0></a>&quot;

instead of using:

window.location.href = &quot;deleteitem.asp?item=&quot; + xpara;

try using:

self.location.href = &quot;deleteitem.asp?item=&quot; + xpara;


This should work much better..

Cheers,

Gorkem.

window.location.href works in IE4. There must be another issue. Is there a issue with the IIS or PWS possibly that you are running on the older machine that is not concurant with the newer? Was it something I said?

Well, I tried &quot;self.location.href&quot; and that didn't work and I tried
response.write &quot;<a href='javascript:chkDelete(&quot; & i & &quot'><img src='graphics/trash_transwh.gif' border=0></a>&quot;
and that didn't work.

ther server is a NT 4.0 server with sp6.

for some reason ie6 likes it fine. I put an alert in the &quot;delete&quot; section to see if it was getting to that section of code and it confirmed that it was. but for some reason the redirection just isn't taking place.

Try document.location = 'deleteitem.asp';

location property is belong to document, and document is belong to window object. No need the href after location.

Use VBScript with ASP... much easier -Phil

Please do. I just need a solution and VBSCRIPT is fine with me. the page is an ASP page.


Thanks,

Well a redirect in ASP is just:
<% response.redirect page %>
But if you need that javascript alert, and want to continue in Javascript, then replace your entire window.location.href stuff with just:

location=xpara -Phil
