I'm seeing unexpected behavior when setting window.location.href. My understanding is that the current page will be navigated away from immediately -- effectively ignoring subsequent JavaScript in the containing script. However, this is not what I'm seeing in practice (Firefox, Chrome and mobile Safari). I'm setting window.location.href when I encounter an error condition (e.g. missing some data) and yet the script continues to run and spew a bunch of errors because of said error condition. (This also applies to window.location.assign.)

Example:

function handleError() {
    window.location.href = "https://example.com"
}

function doWork(id) {
    if (!id) {
        handleError();
    }
    var oops = id.split("-");
    // a bunch of errors spill into the console, onerror listeners, etc.
}
