I face a curious problem with redirection...

Look at this small example: it works only if I add the alert() call after the redirection sentence! If I remove the alert() it does not work anymore!!!

Any idea why (I'm using Firefox 3)?

Thanks.

<html>



<script type="text/javascript">

function GotoPage() { 

    location.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";

    // Without this alert redirection does not work!!! 

    alert("Hello!"); 

}

</script>



<body>

    <form>

    <button onclick="javascript:GotoPage()">Go</button>

    </form>

</body>



</html>
