Try to redirect a page with javascript:

window.location.href = "/someFolder/page.aspx"

but the browser downloads the page instead of entering.

  • This question is very ambiguous. Can you redirect to other pages? If so then it's not a problem with the JavaScript - if I had to guess it would be that the server is serving the file with the incorrect file type. – James Monger Oct 14 '16 at 17:56

    Did you try to just update the location manually to see if the page is diplayed or downloaded (second choice i think) – Arthur Oct 14 '16 at 17:58
  • @James didn't try to redirect to other pages. It must be this aspx. In some cases the browser redirects. In other cases it tries to download the aspx page – Raphael Ivo Oct 14 '16 at 17:59
  • @Arthur manually it works – Raphael Ivo Oct 14 '16 at 18:00
  • there's a number of questions related to this - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3846935/how-to-change-page-from-within-javascript As James said above, this looks like a problem with how the page is being served from the server. – Andrew Vogel Oct 14 '16 at 18:01
  • Are you sure you are testing the exact same URL manually and with the JS ? A good test is to use your JS to be redirected, cancel the download, copy this URL, and test on a new tab. – Arthur Oct 14 '16 at 18:06

The page that redirects was .html. Changing it to .aspx resolved the problem, now it just redirects, it's not trying to download it.

If you just want to open the page Use window.open("www.google.com") Explain what exactly you are looking at
