Assignment not working correctly

[Nymme]

locations = window.location.href.split('?');
location = locations[0];
alert(location);
alert(locations[0]);

I have a javascript function that uses this chunk of code (the alerts are for testing only). location and locations[0] are coming out different from each other. Any thoughts on what could be going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

"location" is a bad choice for variable name, as it might use the window.location property, especially since you've not included the "var" before the variables. I suspect that might have something to do with it. When you do location = locations[0], you're probably going to cause the browser to load that new location.

Apparently that was the problem, thanks for the help.
