The return onsubmit did the trick. Thanks guys. It's bee frustrating but you helped tremendously

Okay, here is what I have:

 <script type="text/javascript">            function gotoProductWebPage() {                 var answer = document.getElementById("answer").value;                if (answer == 8) {                     window.location.href = "myurl";                    return true;                }                else {                    alert("Check your Math");                    return false;                }            }        </script>​called from<form method="get" name="ProveHuman" onsubmit="gotoProductWebPage()">​ html<p style='color:blue;text-align:center' >                Enter answer to prove you are human.A = 3, B = 5, A + B = <input type="number" id="answer" name="answer" /> <br />            </p>            <p style="text-align: center;" >                              <input type = "submit" name = "Submit" value = "Submit" /></p>​

Thanks for looking.

I tried that in the function and it did nothing. Could my syntax be wrong.

window.location.href then what ... My url is of format (http://mywebsite.com/pid="0000") where I must pass the string after the /

Syntax correction may be the answer...Thanks in advance.

Thanks for answering, but still get same result. Url opens in a new window. Could this be a setting in IE that is overriding code?

Hello, I am relatively new to javascript although I have used some over recent years in my html web pages. I have a specific problem in which I have a form with an input box that I must validate as true or false. This part works. The call to another javascript will only work if tagged as target="_blank". I want to open the new url in the same window and nothing I have found on internet has worked.

Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript"> function gotoProductWebPage() { var answer = document.getElementById("answer").value; if(answer==8){ nowbaby(); return true; } else { alert("Check your Math"); return false; } } </script>

<Script type="text/javascript"> function nowbaby() { window.open ("myurl,"_self",false); }​

and here is the call from form:

<form method="get" name="myname" onsubmit="gotoProductWebPage()">​

and here is html snippet:

<p style='color:blue;text-align:center' > Enter answer to prove you are human. A=3, B=5, A+B=<input type="number" id="answer" size="6" name="answer" /><br /> </p> <p align='center' > <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </p>​

Like I said, if I make it _blank it will open in new window, but for the life of me, I cannot get it open in same window.

I have tried:

window.location.href = "myurl"

window.open("myurl/pid='0000","_self")

location.ref

and nothing seems to work. I am stumped. Please Help.

I am working in IE and Edge, sorry should have referenced that.
