In my code, there is a JavaScript function that utilizes window.location. Surprisingly, it runs smoothly in Firefox and Internet Explorer, but encounters issues while running on Chrome. I have tried testing it on both Ubuntu Hardy and Windows Vista operating systems. Can someone enlighten me on the root cause of this problem and suggest a workaround?
One of the primary purposes for utilizing window.location is to instruct the browser to navigate to a different webpage. One common mistake that individuals make is assigning the URL directly to the window.location object, rather than its designated property href. The correct method for achieving this is as follows:
window.location.href = 'http://www.example.com';
To enhance your javascript function, consider adding "return false;" to the end of it like this...
window.location.href='google.com;
return false;
Experiment by omitting window.. For instance, try using location.assign() in place of window.location.assign().
After encountering an issue, I discovered that the culprit was my JavaScript function returning true after the window.location tag due to nested functions. Interestingly, Firefox and Internet Explorer did not process this part of the code, while Chrome did.
I recently put together this HTML file and it successfully displayed the window.location in my Google Chrome 4.0 browser. It seems like it may not be working for you - could it be due to using an older version of the browser?

Figured out the problem. It turns out there was no issue with the function or Chrome. The function needed to be triggered by a specific Drupal form element. I mistakenly added the onclick event that called the function to the entire Drupal form itself rather than a particular form element.
It's basically like this:
$form['testform'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
'#collapsed' => FALSE,
'#attributes' => array(
'onchange' => 'testfunc()'),
);
Instead of doing it like this:
$form['testform']['element1'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#options' => options,
'#required' => false,
'#attributes' => array(
'onchange' => 'testfunc()'),
);
I must admit, now I feel a bit silly.
I encountered a similar issue when I failed to verify that the updated redirected URL did not include any white spaces (my mistake).
As it turns out, only Chrome will block the new location if the URL is not properly formatted.
If you are utilizing a Master Page, ensure that you have an UpdatePanel in place.
