Javascript's window.location.href stopped working on FF 17.0.1

I used window.location.href to navigate pages in my application. Suddenly it's not working anymore with upgrade to v 17.0.1

Javascript with window.location.href no longer working in Content Editor in Sharepoint 2010 where users have IE8

I have recently found that when using a Sharepoint 2010 Content Editor web part to house some Javascript that the window.location.href (or window.location) is not working when the end users have IE8 installed on their PC's. We have confirmed
that the window.location.href is working if the users are on IE7 or Google Chrome with the same Javascript. In addition, we added alert() to the javascript to ensure that it was infact running, which the alerts appeared on the screen with no issues.
The result that I am receiving in IE8 is that when the window.location.href is set to the url that the user should be directed to, it simply refreshes the current page and leaves the user where they originally were.
I have seen the posts to have my site setup as a Trusted Site, but this is not an option for our company as they defined all internal Sharepoint sites as trusted already. Besides this, having all users go into their Internet Options is not really a
solution but a means to annoy your users.
What I am looking for is a permanent solution that I can make within my javascript that will work for both IE7 and IE8 users within a Sharepoint 2010 environment. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Below is a snipet from my javascript code for review:
<script type="text/javascript">
function RedirectUrl() {
alert('button pressed');
var tb = document.getElementById("tbSearch").value;
var cs = document.getElementById("sfield").value;
var url = "";
if (tb != "") {
url = "FilterName=" + cs + "&FilterMultiValue=*" + tb + "*";
if (cs == "Request%5Fx0020%5FID1"){
alert("Request%20ID%20Search.aspx?" + url)
window.location.href = "Request%20ID%20Search.aspx?" + url;
else {
window.location.href = "All%20Requests.aspx?" + url;
else {
return false;
function ClearUrl() {
window.location.href = "All%20Requests.aspx";
</script>

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the window.location.href not worked in IE 8.
I think the issue
is likely due to the value of your variables. If they contain special or invalid characters, those needs to be passed through
encodeURIComponent before being assigned to window.location.href.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18278777/window-location-href-not-working-on-ie
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6297291/window-location-problem-in-ie
You can also use the following methods to check whether it works.
Window.navigate();
Winodw.history.back();
Self.location.href;
Top.location;
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Trying to open a page in IE-tab using javascript, script type="text/javascript" window.location.href="chrome://coralietab/content/container.html?url=0,myurl" /script Error:Component returned failure code:0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.href]

I am trying to open a page in IE-tab using javascript like this, <script type="text/javascript"> window.location.href = "chrome://coralietab/content/container.html?url=0,myurl" ;</script>.Error occured : [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.href]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::myurl :: load :: line 234" data: no] I have IE-Tab plug-in installed..when I open the same link manually in mozilla,it works fine and page gets opened in Ie-tab.

The only way this might be possible is by using the HostContainer object
to access the HTML page and do it from there.

Help setting up Window.location.href to open a file, and 1 other issue

Hey there,
I am a student currently working on a school project where I must make a website. I am trying to set up: window.location.href="C:\Users\*PCNAME*\Desktop\*SITE*"; in that fashion to open up a local file on my HDD, so when I click a specific area, it opens that page from my local files. This setting works with opening web pages like "http://www.google.com" just fine, but when I attempt to instead open up a file location I am given an error.
Also, my other question is how to have more than 1: <script type="text/javascript"> function LinkTo(){, so that I can have 2 seperate buttons on my web page linking to 2 seperate sites.
Here is a link to the PasteBin with my code: http://pastebin.com/Eawy2hcL
Basically, I am wondering how to set up window.location.href to open up a page located in my files rather than from the internet like Google or Facebook; and, I am wondering how to have multiple LinkTo scripts set up so different buttons link to different pages and how to link those buttons to each script. I am new to Dreamweaver, so forgive me if anything is blindingly obvious!

Okay, I'll try to explain better. Btw, thanks for the bottom part. Figured out I am not supposed to put the full location of the file, only the page (index.html), not C:\Users\*NAME*\etc...
Anyways, I am wanting multiple scripts.
Basically, I want the left cell to, when clicked, go to NewCars.html, and the right cell to link to UsedCars.html. It is a table that I have configured to be clicked anywhere in the cell rather than just having to click the words to go to a link. The code is:
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;" onClick="LinkTo()" width="50%" bgcolor="#C5B8B8"><h2 style="text-align: center">Shop New</h2></td>
<td style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;" onClick="LinkTo()" width="50%" bgcolor="#C5B8B8"><h2 style="text-align: center">Shop Used</h2></td>
</tr>=-
</table>
I have the LinkTo script set up, but I don't know how to add another LinkTo script that goes to a different page so that way the first LinkTo script for the"Shop New" cell takes you to the NewCars page, while the "Shop Used" cell takes you to the ShopUsed page.

Windows 7 - browser stops working still connected

As the title says Windows 7, browser stops working after some time passes.
This effects IE and Chrome. I can still ping www.google.com or it's IP address. (all other computers on the network are fine)
I've used both the wired and wireless connection without the same results.
I reboot and it works, I walk away from the work station and then boom no browsing.
I've turned off the firewall, released and renewed the IP, netsh winsock reset none off this worked.
I've gone into internet options and ensure that no "proxy' boxes are checked.
I've uninstalled the network card drives and restarted the machine.
I've ran Malwarebytes (no infections), ccleaner to check for registry problems. Nothing there.
I've disabled the power saving options and uncheck "let windows turn this device off"
I've also ran Norton and Mcgafee uninstallers just be sure there aren't any residue from those installed.
No bittorrent clients
So I'm online but can't browse on this one computer? what's the deal please Help!

"Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working" Error Message Loop upon Startup of WIndows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Ok I have a HP Touchsmart 6000 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. It is my 74 year old mothers computer and about 3 months ago it started acting up. First thing that happened was the internal DVD Burner started working intermitently, recognizing
her QuickBooks backup DVD files occasionally. I got her a new internal DVD burner and it worked for a while. during that time on Startup Help and Support would all of a sudden popup right away. Then recently Adobe Acrobat would
launch a PDF file about Flash and keep opening multiple instances of it. Now her new DVD doesnt work again and on startup at the windows desktop she gets an error "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working". No matter what I click the error
keeps looping. No program has been opened that causes it to crash because the error happens immediately and keeps repeating. I have tried to boot to Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and have tried System Restore to no avail.
I have ran Malwarebytes Antivirus, Malwarebytes AntiExploit, AntiRootkit as well as Combofix. I have run the AntiMalware software from Microsoft and have updated all the drivers for the HP system. To no succcess.
At one point the system did load and an error came up JAN2OSD failed to start due to missing ACPI or something like that. For that brief moment Explorer stopped crashing. When I finished updating driverss though the error came back.
Please Help as she is about to cry and no one wants to make a 74 year old woman cry.:)
Thanks,
Jeff

Windows 7 Error Message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error.... Followed by Windows Explorer Has Stopped Working

I am running a system that is not quite 6 months old, which is loaded with Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.
The error message that I get is as follows: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library. Runtime error! Program C:\windows\Explorer.exe. This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the
application's support team for more information.
Once I respond to that message, I get a message that says "Windows Explorer has stopped working. Then I get "Windows Explorer is re-starting"
I don't know if the next event is related - today, immediately after getting the message above, I got a pop-up that said "An update to Adobe Flash Player is available" - and I am given the option of installing it or not. Today, I did not install
the update - although I recall having accepted this update in the past (again, I don't know if the two situations always occur together).
Is there some help I can be provided to correct this problem? I have looked at several related topics in this database, but have not found anything that seems to directly relate to my question.
Thanks! Mark

Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

Windows Explorer has STOPPED Working

OK, I have iTunes 8 installed, the allegedly CORRECTED version. When I start iTunes 8, I receive a message that says, "Windows Explorer has Stopped Working" and gives me two options:
First Option - Check online for a solution and restart the program (Program being Windows Explorer).
Second Option - Restart the Program (Program being Windows Explorer).
Option One does not provide a solution, just restarts Windows Explorer!
Option Two restarts Windows Explorer.

I THINK that this is the repeated one, because I was doing it one after the other. And yes, as far as I know, everything is up to date. I'm fairly advanced when it comes to computers, but this has me boggled.

Windows sharing (smb) stopped working

Hello,
At work we have a huge network of windows computers. I access most of them on a daily basis, and there's one I'm connected to all the time, both to the filesystem and the windows printer.
All other computers work fine but this one in particular is giving me a headache. YEsterday, all of a sudden and with no configuration change on either my mac or the windows machine, samba stopped working.
When I'm asked my username and password, no matter what I type, I get a "unauthorised access". It didn't use to matter what I typed in there .. as long as the username field wasn't empty, the windows machine would accept it. Now it doesn't.
As I said, I can access other computers just fine.
Any ideas how to fix this?

This is so strange.
I created a user account on the Windows machine and I could access it through my mac.
10 minutes later I tried again and again the same error. Even though the user account and password are correct.

Windows accelorator driver stopped working

Every now and again I have a message which comes up saying Windows accelorator driver stopped working for Windows XP and has recovered. I have Windows 7 home premium so why would this message keep appearing every so often.

Is there any text before "windows acc...." in the error message? From the information supplied I would guess you are running W7 32bit and you've either upgraded from XP or you have loaded an XP grahics driver - I've only seen that sort of message from video drivers. I would check that either an updated Toshiba driver or a "WHQL" certified laptop driver is available from the graphics chipset's web site.

ITunes not working on my computer each time open iTunes appear a window " iTunes has stopped working close the program "

Hi, I have a problem with iTunes on my computer each time when try open iTunes appear a window " iTunes has stopped working... close a program " someone can help me how fix it.

See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
