an odd redirect?

[chris leeds]

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there's an html/ JavaScript way to replicate the asp
response.redirect.

I need to put some code in the middle of an html block that will redirect
the browser to another page.

apparently there is no equivalent to response.redirect in php other than a
header command that will do a meta refresh but it wont work because where I
need the redirect the header will have already been passed.

something like document.location?

What is wrong with using document.location?

If you have FrontPage 2003, you can use Behaviors - Go to
URL on a mouse event.

nothing, other than how can I drop the code in the middle of the page and
have it work without the onload event.

Chris,

Please when the redirect should happen.

If you do the following in the middle of the page it will redirect as the page is rendered.

<script>
location = 'http://www.microsoft.com';
</script>

I tried that but maybe you meant:

<SCRIPT>
window.location =
'http://songexpert.com/music/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=58';
</SCRIPT>

is window. ok or should it be document. or something else?

btw it's serving it's point as I have it above so I appreciate the push in
the right direction.

Chris,
Compare
<script type="text/javascript">
location.href="http://www.site.com"
</script>
with
<script type="text/javascript">
location.replace("http://www.site.com")
</script>

I think you probably want the second one - using location.href is usually a
bad idea.

 

[chris leeds]

but I was using window.location

are either or both of your examples better and if so why?

No sarcasm, actually interested.
