This is utter nonsense, indeed.

By chance: because the assignment to `location' comes first, it is
conceivable and reasonable that the second statement will not even
be executed.
But why, you are "reloading the primary window" yourself by assigning
a value to the `location' property. Stop that and use proper event
handlers, and nothing reloads.

Still it remains unclear what you are trying to achieve _exactly_.
