location.href = "page.html";

' That works right so i figured it would be the same.

Quote: <a href="#" onclick="doMove();">Hey</a>'

This would be more efficent...
<a href="javascript:doMove();">Hey</a>'

No need to thank me.

Sorry to break it to ya champ but that doesn't work. His original code is correct.

I researched the problem and I think the issue is that you are using the onclick event handler on a tag. Try this and make sure that index2.html actually exists. Otherwise the script will do nothing.

<html>
<head>
<title>Yo</title>
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function doMove() {
	location.replace("index2.html");
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="doMove();">Hey</a>
</body>
</html>

that makes sense. Thank you

This is because location.replace only works onload. Its like using a header("Location: http://yadayada.com"); in PHP. You can't change the headers after the page has been displayed.
