window.location working only on index page

Question

I've read the similar questions on SO but none of them helps.

I have this JS

$(document).keypress(function(e) {
    if(e.which == 13) {



          var txt = $('#srch').val();

    if (txt.toUpperCase() === "abc".toUpperCase()){

      window.location= "http://somepage.html";



    }
}
});

Its redirecting only on the index page. On the rest of the pages it's not redirecting. It's only putting a "?" on the end of the current URL.

It will only redirect to `http://somepage.html`. What do you expect? — Mohit Bhardwaj, Jul 12 '16 at 14:59
You have this code on all of your pages? What error do you get in your browser's console for the pages where it does not work? — Mohit Bhardwaj, Jul 12 '16 at 15:50

Check console (and code):

any earlier error blocking your code
input#srch exists in every page
is an https page requesting a non https page? (mixed content blocked by browser)
your js code exists in every page
does exist an earlier bind to same input#srch?
url is always the same or is dynamic? if so, is correctly populated?

I checked all suggestions but that's not the case. If i put an alert right after ` if (txt.toUpperCase() === "abc".toUpperCase()){ alert("works"); ` its firing so its all working except the actual redirect. – nailoxx Jul 13 '16 at 07:00
Can you provide an url? – Diego Betto Jul 13 '16 at 07:43
sorry, I can't for security reasons. I tried to redirect to google.com but still the same. the only thing that happens when I press enter is its adding a "?" at the end of the current URL – nailoxx Jul 13 '16 at 08:01
Can you try with different browsers? Same behaviour? – Diego Betto Jul 13 '16 at 08:04
It works in firefox but its not working in chrome and Edge – nailoxx Jul 13 '16 at 08:14
try replacing window.location = 'http://....'; with window.location.href = 'http://....'; or window.location.assign('http://....'); – Diego Betto Jul 13 '16 at 08:44

It was working in firefox but not in chrome and edge. I added return false; like this

 window.location= "http://somepage.html"; return false;

Now it works for all browsers. Thanks to Diego Betto for pointing me in the right direction.
