How to redirect a page using javascript

Question

I'm having troubles with a page redirection. I have a piece of code which on certain stage of execution suppose to redirect the page to other address. But for some reason it doesn't.

For some reasons I have to use javascript and this is the code I used:

window.location.assign("http://www.myaddress.com")

the full code:

<head runat="server">
<title>try mail</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openWin() {
        myWindow = window.open('myaddressgoeshere', '', 'width=600,height=400');
        myWindow.focus();
    }

<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<table width="300px" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td> <img src="imagesNew/mail.jpg" width="75" height="52"/></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><div id="signin"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    scope = ["wl.signin", "wl.basic", "wl.offline_access", "wl.emails", ],


function id(domId) {
    return document.getElementById(domId);
}

WL.Event.subscribe("auth.sessionChange",
    function (e) {
        if (e.session) {
            displayMe();
            authLogin();  
        }
        else {
            clearMe();
        }
    }
);

function authLogin(e) {
    if (e.status == 'connected') {
        WL.Event.unsubscribe("auth.login", authLogin);
        window.location.assign("http://www.hotmail.com");
        WinJS.Navigation.navigate('files.html');

    } 
}


</script>

where do you call the function from? a button etc? can you show it, too — İsmet Alkan

window.location.assign works too, please refer to w3schools.com/jsref/met_loc_assign.asp before pasting possible duplicate. the question link doesn't have location.assign method — İsmet Alkan

You don't have to use javascript. You can use a meta element:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url='http://www.myaddress.com/'">

he said for some reason i have to use javascript. so i am assuming this is not what he wants but this is more logical if you just want to redirect from a page.

Ooh, he wants it to redirect onclick?

İsmet Alkan Over a year ago

@meks please paste this: "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url='myaddress.com'">" between your "<head>" tags.

it needs to be in a script tag

<html>
<head>
<script>
function newPage()
  {
  window.location.assign("http://www.example.com")
  }
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="button" value="click" onclick="newPage()">

</body>
</html>

I don't see why .assign() is necessary. Why not just manually assign it? window.location = "http://www.example.com/"

@Jacedc that works too. i don't really know the difference. he was just trying to do this way so i put it that way. he said in the comments "No I just placed this piece of code in the page" so i assumed he literally placed only that piece of line in the page and assumed it would work.

@Jacedc the first tendency here is to correct the present code part with as less change as possible, than to suggest possible better ways, I think.

the problem i can't assign it to click

@meks is your authLogin function working? place a console.debug statement and see if it works

Your javascript line has no errors. I think you have a problem somewhere else. Please refer to this link.
