Window.location.href is not working in Microsoft edge

Hello Ajay,

According to your post, my understanding is that the window.location.href not worked in IE 8 also.

I think the issue is likely due to the value of your variables. If they contain special or invalid characters, those needs to be passed through 'encodeURIComponent' before being assigned to window.location.href.

Ex.

// encodes characters such as ?,=,/,&,:
console.log(encodeURIComponent('?x=шеллы'));
// expected output: "%3Fx%3D%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BB%D1%8B"

console.log(encodeURIComponent('?x=test'));
// expected output: "%3Fx%3Dtest"

You can also use the following methods to check whether it works.

Window.navigate();

Winodw.history.back();

Self.location.href;

Top.location;

hope it helps 🙂
