Age Verification

I'm using a javascript for the age verification and did an alert. I was wondering if they type in 17 yrs and younger how to i forward it to google instead of just an alert.

Hi Maruja,

I assume you're talking about a redirct.

Check out the answer marked best here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page

However, just my .02 I wouldn't redirect people to another website. Could create a trust issue and negatively affect user experience. IMO page redirects should only happen within your own site. I.E. redirecting from one of your pages to another one of your pages, like if someone logged in, redirect them to the homepage.

Yes direct them to google. I mention the client but thats what they wanted?

Ah well if the client insists. All your duty is to help steer the client in what you think is the best decision. Give them the information but if they still decided to do it than do it. It's not immoral or wrong, it's just not great.

Like I said,check out that link. Basically I'd try using window.location.replace(...)

that didn't work

this is what i have

<script language="javascript"> var agePrompt=prompt("What is your age?");

if (agePrompt>=18) alert('Welcome!') else {

alert('Sorry! Come back in a few years!') ----> I want to redirect this to google instead of using an alert document.location="http://www.vapinologywholesale.com/";
