location, location.href

[Mike Yu]

Hi,
if javascript, what is the difference between location= url and location.href=url. Here url represents a web page.

[Eric Pascarello]

location is a bad way to reference the location object. Most browsers will act like the href is there.
there is more then href that can go after location
there is replace
hash
host
hostname
reload
and some others
so the best bet is to use the href
