JS don't opening link if else

Question

Alerts are working in both conditions but I can't make a transfer to my HTML link if the password is correct I ALSO TRIED - document.location.href / window.location.href / document.location.replace

document.querySelector('#submit').onclick = function () {

    var pass = document.querySelector('#pass').value;
    var passrepeat = document.querySelector('#passrepeat').value;
    if (pass === passrepeat) {
        //alert("GJ")
        local.href = "SuccessfulLogin.html" 
    }
    else {
        alert("Wrong pass")
    }
}

Does this answer your question? [How can I change the current URL?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3846935/how-can-i-change-the-current-url) — Brian McCutchon, Apr 29 '20 at 23:13

The correct is window.location.href

and also use event.preventDefault() in submit function.

document.querySelector('#submit').onclick = function (event) {
  event.preventDefault()
 ...
}

It doesn't works `window.location.href = "SuccessfulLogin.html"` But if I write `alert("Correct password")` it works – NeedSumHelp Apr 29 '20 at 23:00
HTML file is also added to the folder – NeedSumHelp Apr 29 '20 at 23:01
Does `url` changed? – BeHappy Apr 29 '20 at 23:03
I have three files in my folder : PassMatch.html / PassMatch.js / SuccessfulLogin.html / as u see, I tried to make a simple function to transfer to my link if pass correct – NeedSumHelp Apr 29 '20 at 23:04

window.location.replace("SuccessfulLogin.html");
window.open("SuccessfulLogin.html", "_self");

window.open("SuccessfulLogin.html")

Would usually open in a new tab but the "_self" parameter makes it open in the same tab.
