[removed] Setting location.href versus location

Question

When would you set location to a URL string versus setting location.href?

location = \"http://www.stackoverflow.com\";

Answer 1

A couple of years ago, location did not work for me in IE and location.href did (and both worked in other browsers). Since then I have always just used location.href and never had trouble again. I can't remember which version of IE that was.
