Changing window.location in IE 6
For some crazy reason, IE 6's crazy Javascript engine doesn't want to take me to a new URL by simply changing the window.location or window.location.href properties:
var newUrl = "http://patrickgibson.com/";
window.location = newUrl;
// This also doesn't work!
// window.location.href = newUrl;
window.location = newUrl;
// This also doesn't work!
// window.location.href = newUrl;
But, the following code which shouldn't make a difference does work!
var newUrl = "http://patrickgibson.com/";
setTimeout(function()
{
window.location = newUrl;
}, 0);
setTimeout(function()
{
window.location = newUrl;
}, 0);
Go figure!
