jQuery - redirect after ajax call

Question

I have the following code, however im having a problem getting window.location to work

$('.test_container a').click(function() { $.ajax({ url: $(link).attr('href'), type: 'GET', dataType: 'json', beforeSend: function() { $('#lightbox').show(); }, success: function(data) { $('#lightbox').hide(); window.location(data); } }); return false; });

If window.location.replace is used instead it does work, however this then doesnt allow the brwser back buttons to work.

Does anyone know of any solution?

Thanks

Instead of:

window.location(data);

Use:

window.location = data;

The location is a property of the window object not a method.

for some reason, i tried

window.location = data;

without success, but when used

document.location.href = data;

it worked, you can consider this too
