Is window.location() same as a GET request?

Are cookies preserved while doing windows.location(url), if domain of url is the domain of the current page?

Answer 1

Yes. It's the same thing and it will retain all cookies.

Answer 2

To be really pedantic, changing window.location in Javascript will cause the browser to go to another site, which includes making a GET request. In other words, a GET request and Javascripts window.location are two completely different things; one is a type of HTTP request, the other a DOM attribute.

As pertains to the question though, they can be considered equivalent. Cookies are preserved.

</pedantry> :)
