JavaScript window.location.href code not working

I know this question has been asked a lot before, but none of the fixes worked for me. I made a window.location. href thing before and that worked but this one does not. I know the function runs because I tested it with an alert. Can someone see anything wrong here?



<form>

<input type="submit" name="agree" value="agree" onclick="fagree()">
<input type="submit" name="disagree" value="Decline and go to google" onclick="fdisagree()">

</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
function fagree(){
window.location.assign("index.html")
localStorage.setItem("Terms", "true")
}
function fdisagree(){
window.location.href="https://www.google.com/"
return false;
}
</script>
</body>

          You can use button type instead of submit, otherwise, well, the form will be submit.



          <form>
          <input type="button" name="agree" value="agree" onclick="fagree()">
          <input type="button" name="disagree" value="Decline and go to google" onclick="fdisagree()">
          </form>

          <script type="text/javascript">
          function fagree(){
          window.location.assign("index.html");
          localStorage.setItem("Terms", "true"); //This line won't be executed, because the above line will reload the page
          }

          function fdisagree() {
          window.location.href="https://www.google.com/"
          return false; //This can be removed because the above line will redirect to google and the return false won't be executed
          }
          </script>


          If you don't need any else form elements than those 2 buttons, you can get ride of the <form></form> and simply use <button>. In example :



          <button type="button" name="agree" value="agree" onclick="fagree()">
          <button type="button" name="disagree" value="Decline and go to google" onclick="fdisagree()">

            Do not put it in the form if you don't have to (if that's the whole form code in the example). You are submitting it before functions have a chance to trigger.



            OR:



            <form>

            <input type="button" name="agree" value="agree" onclick="fagree()">
            <input type="button" name="disagree" value="Decline and go to google" onclick="fdisagree()">

            </form>

            <script type="text/javascript">
            function fagree(){
            window.location.assign("index.html")
            localStorage.setItem("Terms", "true")
            }
            function fdisagree(){
            window.location.href="https://www.google.com/"
            return false;
            }

                    Do not put it in the form if you don't have to (if that's the whole form code in the example). You are submitting it before functions have a chance to trigger.



                    OR:



                    <form>

                    <input type="button" name="agree" value="agree" onclick="fagree()">
                    <input type="button" name="disagree" value="Decline and go to google" onclick="fdisagree()">

                    </form>

                    <script type="text/javascript">
                    function fagree(){
                    window.location.assign("index.html")
                    localStorage.setItem("Terms", "true")
                    }
                    function fdisagree(){
                    window.location.href="https://www.google.com/"
                    return false;
                    }
                    </script>
                    </body>
