window.open("url","_self") works well on localhost url, but not when I put it on a server

Question

I have an angularJS frontend that I redirect to a third party payment gateway when a customer clicks on the Pay button.

I am currently using the following function to redirect to the payment gateway:

if(status.data.result == "true"){
var ref = window.open(url,'_self');
}
};

This code works well when I try it on localhost. But does not work when I put it on the ubuntu server.

Any ideas on why?

Regards, Galeej

@RameshRajendran nope. Checked that the server is allowing the url. — galeej, Jul 04 '17 at 07:01
because localhost is `whitelisted` in browser settings, your browser is blocking that popup see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9514698/bypass-popup-blocker-on-window-open-when-jquery-event-preventdefault-is-set — Touqeer Shafi, Jul 04 '17 at 07:36

Try adding return false after var ref = window.open(url,'_self'); like

var ref = window.open(url,'_self');
return false;

return false will prevent from page submit and it may work this way to properly redirect on the same page.

May be your content security policy is blocking this url to load. You can try using _blank instead of _self to see if that is the case. Also it would be better to use $window, because angular.

Also are you using the fully qualified URL ?

we are using a fully qualified url. How do I check the content security policy? will check with _blank and get back – galeej Jul 04 '17 at 07:21
`window.open(url,'_blank')` should open in a new tab. – arbghl Jul 05 '17 at 00:01
Hey, this issue was fixed. We used window.location = url and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help! – galeej Jul 05 '17 at 05:44

The solution that worked for us was using window.location = url
