this is a bit of a noob question but this is a real weird error I’m getting
After creating a cookie (JavaScript cookie) a function should then redirect the page to a different URL.
On both IE & Firefox the Cookie is being created so I know the functions being called properly. In IE the browser then redirects no problems, but on FireFox it doesn’t appear to redirect at all, just reload the same page.
I was using
document.location.href = newURL;
and like I say it didn’t seem to be working on FireFox so I changed it to
window.location = newURL;
and IE threw a major wobbly.
What should I be using to keep both browsers happy?
yesterday I would have said I didn’t have a problem with this but it know works on my firefox but nobody elses…bit confused and annoyed actually cause I did test this all the way through development and now…
ok adding a zip file cause this is driving me nuts…
in the zip file are 4 html pages and 2 javascript files
in the html files there is one called comp.html
on this page is an accept terms link, the user needs to agree to terms before they can see the other files (index, second & third)
so if the user entered second.html in their browser they would be redirected to comp and asked to accept terms. once they did they would be redirected to the page they originally asked for which was second.html. what then stops second.html redirecting back to comp.html is the creation of a cookie when they accept terms
the problem is that in IE this works fine, but not in Firefox
In firefox the user clicks accept, the cookie is created and then instead of redirecting the user it seems to just reload the comp page
sup rab. i downloaded the zip and like you said, it works in IE, but not FF. when I run in FF and click ‘Accept’ it is suppose to redirect me to comp.html. But I get an Error 404 saying that comp.html doesnt exist. Obviously it is in the same dir and it is there. Funny thing is that the URL Bar displays ‘http://localhost/cookies/null’ in FF, and IE shows ‘comp.html.’
