[removed].href doesn't redirect

Question

I know this is a question much discussed but I can\'t figure out why it does not work for me.

This is my function:

function ShowComments(){

 alert(\

If you are calling this function through a submit button. This may be the reason why the browser does not redirect. It will run the code in the function and then submit the page instead of redirect. In this case change the type tag of your button.
