Javascript - what to use rather than window.close() then window.open()


I've got a bit of code which displays a disclaimer to a site, unless there's a cookie there to prove the user's been there already.

Just now, it opens a new window when the cookie is accepted, using:

Quote:
function page()
{
writeCookie('comply','1',30);
window.open ('ats_index.htm');
window.close()
}
I'd like, however, to just forward the user to the index page in the same browser window - rather than in a 'new' browser window. I presume this is easy enough if you know how(!)

Anyone know?

Dave

If you want to re-direct use "location.href='http://the_url_you_want.com'"';

Hope this helps.
