window.location.href issue in FireFox

[praveen.penupati]

Hi All,

I've been facing problem with window.location.href in FF.
Here's my code:

var url = '/abc.php?_action=special&reason='+reasonCaptured
+'&title='+itemTitle+'&id='+itemId+'&uid='+userId
+'&posttype='+postType;
receiveReq.open("GET", url, true);
receiveReq.send(null);
var locationURL = window.location;
window.location.href = locationURL;

This works perfectly fine in IE.
In firefox the Ajax call is not made and the page simply reloads
without any action performed.
Any suggestions are greately helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Praveen.

Consider to reload the document in the onreadystatechange handler of
your receiveReq object, once the readyState is 4.

Why do you refresh the page in a first place?
The point of AJAX was to refresh/change data WITHOUT refreshing the
page...

Just wait for AJAX response as Martin Honnen described and change the
values in the page...
