IMO, Philip's suggestion(s) would be far more appropriate.
If you're using PHP, why not use it's ability to create an "official"
HTTP redirect, rather than rely on Javascript?
Using JS only leads to problems (as you've seen), and may be disabled
by the user, rendering your navigation inoperable.
That's one of the reason PHP exists! To allow you to avoid doing things
crappily and unreliably in JS, replacing it with an elegant, reliable
server-side solution.
