How to use javascript:location.replace with response.redirect

Question

See more:

When using javascript:location.replace with Hyperlink.NavigateUrl it works perfectly.
For instance, this works great:
HyperLinks.NavigateUrl = "javascript:location.replace('step3.aspx?Time=" & i & "');"
This doesn't work at all:
Response.Redirect("javascript:location.replace('step3.aspx?Time=" & i & "'); return false;")
It appears to just be just posting back to itself or doing nothing.
What's the proper syntax I should be using or, is there an alternative?

What I have tried:

'This I've tried and it works

HyperLinks.NavigateUrl = "javascript:location.replace('step3.aspx?Time=" &amp; i &amp; "');"

'This I've tried and it doesn't work

Response.Redirect("javascript:location.replace('step3.aspx?Time=" & i & "'); return false;")

If you want to redirect to a new page, then just redirect to that page:

Response.Redirect("step3.aspx?Time=" & i)

If you want to replace the current page in the browser's history, you'll have to do that from Javascript on the client. By the time your server-side code executes, it's too late to do that.
