javascript windows alert with redirect function

Question

.guys I have the following code:

echo ("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
        window.alert('Succesfully Updated')
        </SCRIPT>");

what i want to do is that when i click ok on the windows.alert the page will be redirected to a my edit.php.

or how is it possible to create a javascript which will execute an insert query.

Jquery has built it means for calling server side code directly. You probably want to look at this previous question as a starting point http://stackoverflow.com/questions/861784/how-to-call-a-web-service-from-jquery. Also if you are interested in blocking the client side during your insert you can take a look at the jquery plugin blockui http://jquery.malsup.com/block/. — bwmfsu, Mar 26 '11 at 16:26
@bwmfsu Sheez. When you have a platinum hammer, you really make all problems look like nails? jQuery is massive overkill here. — mplungjan, Mar 26 '11 at 16:43
@mplungjan I misunderstood the question. I thought the question was about hitting an insert asynchronously maybe reading too much into this excerpt from the question _javascript which will execute an insert query_ I have been doing a lot of this within the last few weeks so that's where my mind is. — bwmfsu, Mar 26 '11 at 17:39

Alert will block the program flow so you can just write the following.

echo ("<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
    window.alert('Succesfully Updated');
    window.location.href='http://someplace.com';
    </script>");

That way is not recommended, you don't send the header so you better write `exit;` after `echo` – miqbal Nov 30 '13 at 22:13

If you would like to redirect the user after the alert, do this:

echo ("<script LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
          window.alert('Succesfully Updated');
          window.location.href='<URL to redirect to>';
       </script>");

document.location is deprecated and supposedly read-only. It does work but is not designed to do it – mplungjan Mar 26 '11 at 16:41

You could do this:

echo "<script>alert('Successfully Updated'); window.location = './edit.php';</script>";

Use this if you also want to consider non-javascript users:

echo ("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
           window.alert('Succesfully Updated')
           window.location.href='http://someplace.com';
       </SCRIPT>
       <NOSCRIPT>
           <a href='http://someplace.com'>Successfully Updated. Click here if you are not redirected.</a>
       </NOSCRIPT>");
