hi

<script language="javascript">
          function shownext()
          {
          //alert("hello");
          location.href="http://www.google.com";
          alert("hello");
          }
          </script>
     </HEAD>
     <body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
          <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
               <a href="javascript:;" onclick="shownext()">hello </a>
          </form>
     </body>

I have a call to a function in a href click..and the strange thing is ...

as you can see i am trying to redirect and it only redirects if i have the alert statement after that...otherwise nothing happens...

why is that so....

your code, with a little change, is working for me:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">

    ' Insert page code here
    '

</script>
<html>
<head>
    <script language="javascript">
          function shownext()
          {

            window.location.href="http://www.google.com";

          }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
        <a href="javascript:shownext();">hello </a>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

pran here it is your 'source code' in browser:

<html>
<head>
    <script language="javascript">
          function shownext()
          {
          //alert("hello");
          location.href="http://www.google.com";
          //alert("hello");
          }
          </script>
</head>
<body ms_positioning="GridLayout">
    <form name="Form1" method="post" action="NewFil1e.aspx" id="Form1">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="dDwtNjU0MzcyMTk1Ozs+b7/6a1SRgoz2hT8CGcYPe3y7zu8=" />

        <a href="javascript:;" onclick="shownext()">hello </a>
    </form>

</body>
</html>

i can say: it is working!
