How to redirect to a bookmark URL in crossrider?

Question

In crossrider, I've a function in the background-codes as

function buttonClick() {
  alert(2);
  // simulates similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
  var url = "http://12bubbles.com";    
  window.location.replace(url);
}

After installing the extension, when buttonClicked() is called, the alert() did pop up but the redirect doesn't work. Is something wrong with my codes??

Can you post your solution as an answer and accept it in a few days please. That would really help other users. Thanks! — PeeHaa, Jul 19 '11 at 21:23

Finally figured out. If anyone is facing the same problem, I simple had to use their own API

function buttonClick() {
      alert(2);
      // simulates similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
      var url = "http://12bubbles.com";    
      appAPI.openURL(url, "current");
    }

Still doesn't work. Maybe it's something 'Crossrider' specific then. – ptamzz Jul 19 '11 at 17:21
I'm not familiar with cross-rider but I'm surprised that this wouldn't work. Maybe try just `window.location = url`? – Greg Guida Jul 19 '11 at 17:27
I tried that too. Both works when I tried in localhost but I can't get it working with Crossrider. Anyway, thanks for helping me out!! – ptamzz Jul 19 '11 at 17:42
