Window.location not working in Javascript

So I’m new to JS, and I wanna redirect the user to another page…

My code:

// Below function Executes on click of login button.
function validate() {
  redirectTo =
    window.location.protocol + window.location.host + "/dashboard.html";
  var username = document.getElementById("userName").value;
  var password = document.getElementById("passWord").value;
  if (username == "admin" && password == "password") {
    window.location = redirectTo; // Redirecting to other page.
    return false;
  } else {
    alert("NANI!!!");
  }
}

I know this is not a secure way to auth, but relax it’s just a portfolio project

Answer

You should append the ‘//’ after window.location.protocol which mentioned by @Vasan.

Using ES6 template strings would make it clear.

  function validate() {
    const redirectTo = `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.host}/dashboard.html`;
    const username = document.getElementById('userName').value;
    const password = document.getElementById('passWord').value;
    if (username === 'admin' && password === 'password') {
      window.location = redirectTo; // Redirecting to other page.
      return false;
    } else {
      alert('NANI!!!');
    }
  }
