Ajax call does not work properly

Question

I have written this code for authentication.It works well till calling of function "a", control goes to function a but it ignores redirect line..I checked using alert that it executes "a" function. Why this is happening?

 $('#loginbtn').click(function() {
var userName = document.getElementById('uid').value;
var password = document.getElementById('pwd').value;
$.ajax({
    type : "POST",
    url : "/LoginNew.aspx/Authenticate",
    data : { 
        userName: userName ,
        password: password 
    },
    async : false, 
    contentType : "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType : "json",
    success : a, 
    error : function(e) {
        alert(e.valueOf());
    }
});

function a() {
    window.location.href = "Login.aspx";
}
});

@JayHardia..It directs well if I debug it in browser using fire bug.. — user1093183, Aug 08 '13 at 06:54

@user1093183 - Sounds like loginbtn is a asp button, after postback it is reloading same page. — afzalulh, Aug 08 '13 at 07:05

success : a() //function is called like this

try using

success : function(){window.location.href = "Login.aspx"};

No its not working,I have to put only a..but this in not my problem It goes to the function "a"..If I put alert in "a" it works.but it does not go to the login.aspx page – user1093183 Aug 08 '13 at 06:49
`a` is the function reference, no need for another function wrapper. – zs2020 Aug 08 '13 at 06:51
Yes goes to Login.aspx page IF I put alert before function a eg. alert(""); function a(result) {window.location.href = "Login.aspx";} – user1093183 Aug 08 '13 at 06:55
that's a wired behavior :/ – Tushar Gupta - curioustushar Aug 08 '13 at 07:00

Remove .href part, and you need to specify a path, something like this

window.location = "/Login.aspx";
