Window.location error

Hi, I get an Object doesnt support this method error when I run the following code (using asp to write the javascript). What is wrong with it?

Response.write("<SCRIPT>")
Response.write("window.location.href('InvoiceDetails.asp?orderId=" & intOrder & "&err=" & strError & "');")
Response.write("</script>")

a.marsh

Try:

Response.write("window.location = 'InvoiceDetails.asp?orderId=" & intOrder & "&err=" & strError & "');")

Now I don't really know ASP but you should also escape the two values aswell.

In javascript you would use the escape function like:

var url = "page.asp?orderid=" + escape("ab:995") + "&err=" + escape("This msg has spaces");

Perhaps you can the equivalent function in ASP.

thanks the code without the escape seemed to load the page ok but I get an Error on page message in the bottom bar. There shouldnt have been any spaces in the url that i generated. How do i see what the error is?

In the above comment, please note that the second line of code should be on one line and not two. Also, to answer your other question about how to view your javascript errors: In IE, double click on the message at the bottom that says "Errors on page". In Netscape, type "javascript:" in the address and press enter.
