This question is for CRM Online version 8.2.

How can I using javascript get a window.location.href parameter? It does not return the same url as I see in the browser.

Thank you.

Hi ,

Yes it is expected behavior ideally when you are retrieving the url form onload its basically triggering in content page and its depends on where you are triggering javascript method .

You can try to add parent to get the top content URL.

window.parent.location.href

Hope this helps.

USE:

window.location.replace('http://example.com');

It’s better than using window.location.href = ‘http://example.com’;

Using replace() is better because it does not keep the originating page in the session history, meaning the user won’t get stuck in a never-ending back-button fiasco.

If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use window.location.href

If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use window.location.replace

You can use assign() and replace methods also to javascript redirect to other pages like the following:

location.assign("">http://example.com");

The difference between replace() method and assign() method(), is that replace() removes the URL of the current document from the document history, means it is not possible to use the “back” button to navigate back to the original document. So Use the assign() method if you want to load a new document, andwant to give the option to navigate back to the original document.
