I require JavaScript redirection on my Apex buttons: APPLY should reload the current page with PL/SQL, while CHANGE must open page 35. Conditional branching failed.

function redirectToPage(pageNum) {
  const newUrl = 'f?p=500:' + pageNum + ':sessKey';
  window.location.href = newUrl;
}
redirectToPage(35);

hey try using window.location.replace instead of .href. i had a similar issue and it helped update session data. also check your sesskey to make sure its valid. hope it help!

Based on my experience, ensuring that the dynamically generated URL is correct and that session keys are updated is essential. I encountered issues where caching or slight timing differences led to unexpected results. A useful technique was adding a short delay before triggering the redirect, which helped avoid race conditions. Also, validating the complete URL using debug tools proved helpful. Switching to window.location.replace in cases where history management is not required often cleans up navigation issues. This method helped me achieve more consistent behavior.

I found that issues with dynamic JavaScript redirects in Apex often stem from timing problems rather than incorrect URLs. From my experience, when dealing with multiple button actions, it’s crucial to ensure that the page state is completely finalized before executing the redirection function. Adding a small delay using setTimeout helped to synchronize the PL/SQL processes with client-side operations. I also discovered that checking the validity of session keys and carefully constructing the URL improved reliability. Careful debugging with browser tools often revealed timing issues that were not obvious initially.

hey, try a short setTimeout delay to let backend processes finish. i switched to window.location.assign and it reduced caching issues in my aplication. hope it works for you!
