[Javascript] location.href fails in Firefox

I agree that I should use location.href = myURL, but that does not fix the problem.  It still does not work in FF./

  Last time I checked, location.href was a property and not a method.  IE may have a supplemental attribute for this, but the standard way to do it is 

  location.href = myURL

  rather than the approach below.

  Good Day;
  I compute myURL and then change the page with the statement 
  location.href(myURL).
  This works fine when viewing the site with IE6 or IE7, but fails when 
  viewing the page with Firefox.
  I have inserted an alert statement as an attempt to debug and myURL is 
  computed correctly and is exactly the same regardless of the browser.

  Does Firefox treat location.href differently?

  What must I do to fix this ?


  Thanks for any help
