HTML works but javascript fails with href

[stockton]

I have javascript as follows

function newDoc()
    {
    window.location.href = "http://192.168.0.8/devit/logon.html";
    }

If I call this function from my javascript as follows

        newDoc();

it fails but if called from HTML

<input type="button" nanme="SelectButton" id="SelectButton" value="Login" onclick="newDoc()" height="50" />

it works.
Please tell me what I am getting wrong.

what does FF or Chrome's javascript-console report as error? that will give you a hint already. otherwise we would need to see more of the code - may be you call the function before its declared or similar.
