button javascript works on IE but not firefox window.navigate()

Question

This works on IE8, but not firefox or opera. An

Answer 1

window.navigate is a non-standard Internet Explorer feature. Other browsers simply don't provide the function.

You could shim it with:

if (! window.navigate) {
    window.navigate = function (arg) {
    location.assign(arg);
   } 
}  

… but your code would be better if you just rewrote it to use standard methods (i.e. the location object) in the first place.
