Javascript navigation only works on debug

I have a button which calls a Javascript function when it is pressed, that function is just redirecting to another page, it looks like this:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" id="button1" name="button1" onclick="myFunction()" />

And the function looks like this:

function myFunction() {
    window.location.href = "page2.html";
}

The function is executed but the redirection does not work, it remains on the same page, but if I set a breakpoint on the function and execute it line by line using the Browser dev tools it successfully redirects to the other page.

---------EDIT---------

It works only using the Firefox dev tools, if I set the breakpoint on Chrome it still does not works.

Try setting the href to just 

location.href = "page2.html".

As IE and Firefox are concerned, "/path" is invalid.

It's the nature of your input type. Change the type to "button" and you'll be good to go!
