Window.location.href is not working in Microsoft edge
I have used window.location.href in my lightning component javascript controller. It is working fine in Chrome/Mozilla but not on Microsoft edge. Is there any alternate solution?

Hello Ajay,
According to your post, my understanding is that the window.location.href not worked in IE 8 also.
I think the issue is likely due to the value of your variables. If they contain special or invalid characters, those needs to be passed through ‘encodeURIComponent’ before being assigned to window.location.href.
Ex.
// encodes characters such as ?,=,/,&,:
console.log(encodeURIComponent(‘?x=шеллы’));
// expected output: “%3Fx%3D%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BB%D1%8B”console.log(encodeURIComponent(‘?x=test’));
// expected output: “%3Fx%3Dtest”You can also use the following methods to check whether it works.
Window.navigate();
Winodw.history.back();
Self.location.href;
Top.location;
hope it helps 🙂

Hi,
The problem is likely due to the value of your variables. If they contain special or invalid characters, those needs to be passed through encodeURIComponent before being assigned to window.location.href.
Note -: The encodeURIComponent() function encodes a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component by replacing each instance of certain characters by one, two, three, or four escape sequences representing the UTF-8 encoding of the character (will only be four escape sequences for characters composed of two “surrogate” characters).
