I have the following issue: I make a jQuery ajax post and, on success, I need to change the location of the browser to an Index view. This is the javascript:

$.post(CreateReleaseNotificationURL, Notifications_Form.serialize(), function (response) {
            if (response.indexOf("Error") == 0) {
                $("#NewNotification_CreateStatus").html(response);
            }
            else {
                window.location.assign('@Url.Action("Index")');
                //window.location = window.location;                   
            }              
        })
        .fail(function () {                
            $("#NewNotification_CreateStatus").html("An error has occured.<br /> Please contact the system administrator<br /> if the problem persists.");
        });

However, nothing happens !! What am I missing ?

PS: I also tried using location.href, to no avail.

Is the control coming inside your conditional checks ? –  harsha Aug 13 '13 at 10:34

Did u tried like window.location.href = "/app/Controller/Method_name" ? –  vinothini Aug 13 '13 at 10:36
    
@harsha, what control are you talking about ? –  Octavian Epure Aug 13 '13 at 10:36
    
@vinothini, I don't want to use magic strings, I only want to use Url helper and such, since in production the magic string will most likely not work –  Octavian Epure Aug 13 '13 at 10:38

If this is inside a .js file it won't work as it's not rendered. Otherwise, two debug phases. First check the HTML source to see what's @Url.Action("Index") been rendered to, second phase of debug is making sure you reached that line at all by adding alert("..."); –  Shadow Wizard Aug 13 '13 at 10:39

check this:

window.location.href = '@Url.Action("Index", "ControllerName")';
