Going to a URL instead of opening a new window

[Dukster131]

I am writing a javascript function that will go to a different page when a specific menu item is chosen. the function now works with the following:

window.open("IDI.asp?rec_id=<%=request("rec_id")%>&cat_num="+strCatNum+"&catid=<%=request("catid")%>", "MyWindow");

However, I do not want to open a new window, I just want to go to that window.

Isn't there a simple way to tell it to go to the page instead of opening a new window?

Heya, Dukster. Welcome to TSDN!

Please use CODE tags when posting source code. See the REPLY GUIDELINES on the right side of the page next time you post.

You posted this in the Articles section. I'll go ahead and move it to the Forum where an Expert will be more likely to find it.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem.

Try using

window.location.href = {url};

instead.
