JavaScript redirect in a conditional

Question

This is my code:

$('submit').on('click', function (){
    var num = document.getElementById('number').value;

    if(num !== ' '){
        window.location = 'userAuth.htnl';
    }
});

But after I type something into the DOM element and submit it doesn't redirect. But if I console log my input in the conditional, I see it on the console.

Please help.

`$('submit')` I wasn't aware there was such a thing as a `` tag. — Taplar, Jun 15 '18 at 16:54
Is `#submit` a submit button within a form? Does the page reload instead of redirecting when it's clicked? — Lennholm, Jun 15 '18 at 18:23
Exactly, it reloads but now I passed an argument in the anonymous function and used the preventDefault() function and it worked. — user8417421, Jun 15 '18 at 23:27

In your code you have 'userAuth.htnl';. Change that to 'userAuth.html';

$('#submit').on('click', function (){
    var num = document.getElementById('number').value;

    if(num !== ' '){
        window.location.replace('userAuth.html');
    }
});

Forgot the replace. Try `window.location.replace('userAuth.html');` – thatguy Jun 15 '18 at 17:25
