navigateURL Method

See Also      Applies To

Navigates the browser to a specific URL while persisting state.

Syntax

object.navigateURL(strURL)

Parameters

object

A PageObject script object.

strURL

The URL to navigate to.

Remarks

If the navigateURL method is called from client script, the form is posted to the server and a redirect occurs to the target URL. If the method is called in server script it results in a browser redirect.

Using this method is preferable to placing a URL directly in a link or using window.location.href because it persists state. Use this method when the Session or Application scope of a page needs to be updated before navigating to another page.

Note   This method is available only on the local page, not referenced pages. For example, on a page named Page1 you can call thisPage.navigateURL or Page1.navigateURL but not Page2.navigateURL.
