[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

With TypeScript use window.location.href as window.location is technically an object containing:

Properties
hash 
host 
hostname
href    <--- you need this
pathname (relative to the host)
port 
protocol 
search 

Setting window.location will produce a type error, while window.location.href is of type string.
