Does window.location.href takes away UI?

Question

I have a problem when programming for apps. I have a UI that displays but when I do a

<script type="text/javascript">
     window.location.href="http://mywebsite.com";
</script>

after I have done it my UI disappears, does the code overlap the UI or what is happening? Is there anyway around this?

What does web have to do with programming an app in javascript? — MrFoffoloff, May 12 '14 at 13:18

No overlapping or anything that sort.

It is being redirected to the new url provided.

When that code is executed, it is redirected to http://mywebsite.com

window.location.href contains the current url and when you overwrite it, it will redirect to the new url provided to it.

@user3625881 for what kind of environment do you develop? Browser? Some mobile app framework? – lethal-guitar May 12 '14 at 13:23
@lethal-guitar It's an app, should work for both android and iOS, it goes into phonegap – MrFoffoloff May 12 '14 at 14:10
@user3625881 then you need to look up how to "open a web page" with phonegap. – lethal-guitar May 12 '14 at 14:13

In window.location.href="http://mywebsite.com"; the browser navigates to the new URL supplied, i.e:http://mywebsite.com. that's why you may not be able to see your current UI.
