Does my var include a full url? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? A url of just a variable is invalid.

How could it work in principle?

You need to do this:

JavaScript

window.location = "http://www.CodeProject.com";

Accordingly, if you want to work with a variable, 1) it should have a valid variable name, 2) it should be assigned a value of a valid literal:

JavaScript

myLocation = "http://www.CodeProject.com";
window.location = myLocation;

If you put:

JavaScript

window.location.href = '/myValue'

it will append. If you say:

JavaScript

window.location.href = 'http://myValue'

it will then go to that page and not append the url.
