JS: Window.location the value of a localstorage key

I am trying to redirect users of value of a localstorage key but it doesn't seem to work.

Now this works: window.location = "http://google.com"

but this doesnt: window.location = localStorage.getItem('key1')

The value of the key1 is http://google.com ...

Does it not work because localstorage doesn't take :// as a string or something like it?

Thanks alot

This worked fine for me in firefox:

localStorage.setItem("key1", "http://google.com");  
window.location = localStorage.getItem('key1');

Most likely you have a mistake somewhere when you store.

Try doing 

alert(localStorage.getItem('key1'));

to see what you actually store.
