Bug 3808 – REQ: Implement location.assign

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Matthew]

function addClick() {
   var loc = 'scvrtsrv.html';

   var code = 'location.assign("' + loc + '")';
   eval(code);
}

Unable to open up the requested page so that one can add a virtual server to the Router.

The Router used is a US Robotics 9105; and the site is the internal configuration pages; all the pages use 
the same consistant use of the javascript call; location.assign

[Mark Rowe (bdash)]

location.assign appears to be an Internet Explorer extension, though it supported by Mozilla + family.

Implement location.assign

This patch implements location.assign. It works the same as setting location to
an explicit value.

Implement location.assign

needs a layout test, but other than that looks great. r- until a test case is
added.
