Javascript; Sending user to another page

Question

I am trying to send a user to another page using a Javascript Function:

INPUT TYPE = Button NAME = "confirm"
VALUE = "nextpage" onClick =
message()>    SCRIPT language =
JavaScript>       function message() {
    ConfirmStatus = confirm("Install a
Virus?")

    if (ConfirmStatus == true) {

    //Send user to another page

    } } /SCRIPT>

Does anyone know how to send a user to another specific page?

Answer 1

I hope your prompt is a joke...

I believe window.location.href = "newpage.html"; will work.

Answer 2

Hi buddy, your code got messed up, but if I got it right you can use the following:

location.href = 'http://www.google.com';
or
location.href = 'myrelativepage.php';

Good luck!

But I must say to you,

1. Javascript can be turned off, so your function won't work.

Other option is to do this by code:

PHP: header('Location: index.php');

C#: Response.Redirect("yourpage.aspx");

Java: response.sendRedirect("http://www.google.com");

Note:

1. All of those redirects must be placed before any outputs to the client ok?

Answer 3

You can also use a meta refresh tag to redirect.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://other-domain.com"&gt;

Will redirect to the site http://other-domain.com after two seconds.
