messagebox javascipt problem

[greedyisg00d]

When the javascript messagebox pops out, my page display becomes unorganized or half of the content is loaded only but when I click ok in the messagebox and redirect it to another page everything returns to normal again. Any idea what is the problem? Here is my code

echo "<script type='text/javascript'> window.alert('Schedule successfully added'); window.location='schedulelist.php'; </script>";

Thanks

You probably should include HTML comments to avoid browser issues. Newlines wouldn't hurt the HTML code either:

echo "<script type='text/javascript'><!--\n".
  "  window.alert('Schedule successfully added');\n".
  "  window.location='schedulelist.php';\n".
  "--></script>\n";

Hi I have a add record page by default and if the user successfully added new records, a javascript messagebox will pop out which my code something goes like this:

echo "<script type='text/javascript'> window.alert('Schedule successfully added'); window.location='schedulelist.php'; </script>";

My problem is when the messagebox pops out, the page content becomes unorganized or the content is not fully loaded which based from my observation it is caused by the messagebox. Any idea what seems to be the problem?

Thanks

In general I would never just let the javascript run when it loads. Wrap it in a function and use an event listener to run it.

echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
window.onload = successAlert();
function successAlert() {
     window.alert('Schedule successfully added');
     window.location='schedulelist.php';
}
</script>";

I have seen a lot of screwy thing happen when you just let the javascript run as it is loaded and I have just gotten in the habit of always putting javascript in a function and using events to run the script.
