Custom action doesn't navigate to another site

Question

I have an issue with custom action.

Here is the definition of my custom action:

  <CustomAction
          Id="GoToDefi"
          Title="Go To"
          Description="Go To"
          RequireSiteAdministrator="FALSE"
          RegistrationType="ContentType"
          RegistrationId="0x01"
          GroupId="ActionsMenu"
          Location="DisplayFormToolbar"
          Sequence="1000">
    <UrlAction Url="javascript:GoToFunction();"/>
  </CustomAction>

So basically this is bound to CT and in display item form when i click on it, it doesnt redirect to anywhere, it just refereshes and that is it.

Here is the function code:

function GoToFunction()
{
    //Some extra steps are done

     window.location.href = "www.google.com";
}

Any idea what am i missing?

UPDATE:

I noticed a bit strange behaviour, when i hover over my link, i see that it has javascript:_dopstostback(...); But not my script.

When i do the debugging, my script is wel being called, but i think this _doPostBack overwrites my changes. I checkthed the html and i see following:

....
<tr>
<td class="ms-toolbar" nowrap="nowrap" >
   <a id="....toolbartbl_rpControls_ct112" href="javascript:_doPostBack('ct1000....','')"/>
   <a id="....toolbartbl_rptControls_CT112_LinkText" href="javascript:myfunction();" />
</td>

I don't know why but there are 2 anchor elemenets, and i think that postback is breaking my redirection.

But if in my custom action i give url like that url='www.google.com' then both of elements have href to www.google.com. But if i use any kind of javascript then it is not working anymore.

Answer 1

Are you using an older version of IE? Previously IE hade problems with redirecting with href. Try if this line of code works:

window.navigate("http://www.google.com");

Answer 2

how about removing the last part ;) :

function GoToFunction()
{
    //Some extra steps are done

     window.location = "www.google.com";
}

if it was 2010 it would of been easy ;) ,

try adding javascript:void so like this:

  <CustomAction
          Id="GoToDefi"
          Title="Go To"
          Description="Go To"
          RequireSiteAdministrator="FALSE"
          RegistrationType="ContentType"
          RegistrationId="0x01"
          GroupId="ActionsMenu"
          Location="DisplayFormToolbar"
          Sequence="1000">
    <UrlAction Url="javascript:void GoToFunction();"/>
  </CustomAction>
