windows.location.href not working on Firefox3

Question

We have a JavaScript function named \"move\" which does just \"windows.location.href = any given anchor\".
This function works on IE, Opera and Safari, but so

Answer 1

I have the same problem and I guess this is related to a click event.

I have a function that moves the browser to a specific page. I attach that function to some click events: in a button and in a image. AlsoI execute the function when the user press escape (document onkeypress event).

The results are that in all cases the function is called and executed, but only when there is a click the browser goes to the address I want.

Update I got it working! with a

setTimeout( "location.replace('whatever.html');", 0 );

I don't know why the location.replace wasn't working when the event was a keypress, but with the settimeout it works :)

Update Returning false after the event when you press escape makes the redirection works. If you return true or nothing the browser will not follow
