Change in document.location value

DNK2007

Hi all

Look at the following code

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.location="http://www.gmail.com";
alert(document.location);
</script>
</head>
</html>[/HTML]

I am getting alert message as a location name what it was previously. It is not printing http://www.gmail.com.? What is the problem.?

Thanks

the alert is executed before the new page is loaded ... when you set the location (and you should use location.href instead of location only) then a new page will be loaded, while the old one will be unloaded. so you know the href when you set it ... and you don't need to retrieve it from location.href ... may be it will be set when some request-status occurs ... and that may should take some time?

kind regards

Hi gits,

Thanks. After changing the location, can I access the form field names of newly located location so that I can set values for username, password.

Thanks
