Javascript open link in same window

[gil]

I have a form that I would like to get the values entered on the page
and go to a new page in the same window. I can make the code work to
open a new window, but I need it to open in the same window. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what I have:


function pass_info() {

var info = "";

info += document.form2.productWeight.value;
window.open("/page/shippingrates/calculate_shipping_before.asp"
+ "?" + "weight=" + info,");
}

I know that it is the window.open, but I have not figured out what I
need to do to get it in the same window.

Thanks

location.replace or location.href, depending on whether you want it
overwritten or not, respectively.

I do not want it overwritten, but location.href does not work.
location.replace works, but not what I need. Do you have any other
ideas on what I can use.

Thanks,

Have you tried using iframe for the window you want to replace?

Clarify "does not work".
What happens or doesn't happen?

And if this is a frameset, say so.

What happens (or doesn't happen) when you do the following:

info += document.form2.productWeight.value;
window.location.href = "/page/shippingrates/calculate_shipping_before.asp?
weight=" + info;

Note that word-wrap may split that into three lines when it should be two.

If you get an error, post it.

It works. Only your source code or the JavaScript Console
can tell why it does not work for *you* *there*.

location.replace works, but not what I need.

It fulfills the requirement of "open in the same window", though.

Do you have any other ideas on what I can use.

Do you have more code or error messages?
