Javascript: W3C Problem?

Mp)Tarh · 11-14-2003, 05:38 PM

I've always followed the standards set by the W3C, and have always trusted them. Today however, those standards seem to have failed me.

I am sure you all know about window.location.replace() in JavaScript. I have set my document to a basic HTML 4.01 Trans. with text/html meta content type with windows-1252 character encoding.

Are you with me so far?

Now I put in a JavaScript with a window.location.replace(). However, while running this code it doesn't redirect! I narrowed it down to this exact line of code. It works when I put in a window.location = "site.html" but I'm a real stickler for no back buttons

If I take out the HTML 4.01 Trans. declaration, it works fine. BUT I WANT MY W3C MARKER!

This seems to work for me with the HTML 4.01 DTD on IE 6.0.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=15585

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>window.location.replace</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function replaceWin() {
	window.location.replace("http://webdesigntalk.net");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type=button value="Click" onclick="replaceWin()">
</body>
</html>

What browsers have you tried it on? I'm not really sure what the problem would be, possibly something with the characte encoding maybe?

I've only tried it on IE 6.0.2800.1106.

But for some reason, it seems to work now.
I didn't change anything, but it goes perfectly?!
I just had to wait a few days.

But, who really cares, it works now.
Thanks for your help!
