Redirect to New URL Script

Question

Hello I have the code below that allows you to redirect to a new URL when the form is save. It works but whenever click add new item it reloads the page twice. Can someone help me fix this?

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js" integrity="sha256-ZosEbRLbNQzLpnKIkEdrPv7lOy9C27hHQ+Xp8a4MxAQ=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> ​​​<br/><script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){

$("input[value='Cancel']").attr('onclick','');

$("input[value='Cancel']").click(function(){

location.href = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl; // It will redirect you to home page after clicking on cancel button

});

var stringURL = location.href;
if(stringURL.indexOf("AllItems")>-1){
stringURL = stringURL.replace(stringURL.substring(stringURL.indexOf("Source="),stringURL.length),'Source='+_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl+'/SitePages/ThankYou.aspx');
location.href = stringURL;
}

if(!(stringURL.indexOf("Source=")>-1)){
location.href = location.href+"?Source="+_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl+'/SitePages/ThankYou.aspx';

}

});

</script>​​​

Answer 1

You can check 

The problem here is with the <button> tag. Its default behavior is to act as a submit button unless otherwise declared and will reload.

To keep your <button> tag, add type='button' to the button element. I think that prevents the reload.

Or you could go with the ole <input> tag with a type='button'. That keeps the reload from happening as well.

Or some other html element with an onclick event will work too.

Hi lahsin,

This is by design.

First time page load will set the normal Source parameter in the url when clicking "Add New Item" in list view page:

NewForm.aspx?Source=http://sp/sites/dev/Lists/RedirectList/AllItems.aspx

Then in the code snippet, $document.ready function, it will check and override the Source Parameter with new redirect url after saving items.

It will need to reload the page second time to apply the changes, without reload, it won't be able to override this "Source" querystring, please check the same question here:

Thanks

Hi,

Simple fix:

Override "new item" hyperlink in List view page directly with modified Source parameter:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $("#idHomePageNewItem").attr("href", "http://sp/sites/dev/lists/Testlist/newform.aspx?source=http://sp/sites/dev/SitePages/ThankYou.aspx");
        $("#idHomePageNewItem").attr("onclick", "");
    });
</script>

Thanks

Best Regards
