Location Syntax

[peterinwa]

I tried my books and searching this site and gave up so I have to ask this really novice question.

I had a graphic on my page as an href link to another page, but before jumping to the new page I want to write a cookie. So I changed the href to call a function, but can't figure out the syntax to then jump to the new page.

function WriteCookieGoToNewPage(){
saveCookie... this line works fine
location.'pageName.html' target='_top'}

I get the error messages Expected Identifier and Object Expected.

Thanks!

Try location.href

[peterinwa]

If you mean:

location.href.'pageName.html'

instead of:

location.'pageName.html'

I still got the same errors.

[Graeme Hackston]

location.href = 'pageName.html'

It might need to be like this, I'm not sure

window.location.href = 'pageName.html'

[peterinwa]

It's working now, thanks:

location.href='pageName.html';

though it didn't like target='_top' added on to the end.

Glad it works, this should help
