location.href property vs. location.assign() method

rated 0 times [ 128] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 69725 / 12 Years ago, tue, april 24, 2012, 12:00:00

Is there any particular advantage/disadvantage in JavaScript memory consumption between using location.href = url as opposed to location.assign(url)?

I guess I'm wondering if it takes more memory to access the method as opposed to setting the property.

I always used and never had problems with:

location.href = url;

Calling a function should be slightly slower than accessing the property, but in terms of memory there should not be a big difference in my humble opinion.
