>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>I have a single page form. In the Cancel method of this form I tried the following code (I've added last line of code just now):
>>>
>>>

>>>$scope.cancel = function () {
>>>                $scope.form.$setPristine();
>>>                $scope.showForm = false;
>>>                window.location.href = "/";
>>>            };

>>>
>>>It works but with a considerable delay. E.g. the form disappears, but the URL changes only after about 20+ seconds to the localhost. Is there a better way to apply similar functionality? E.g. I simply want to re-set the current view to point to nothing as we "closed" that form by pressing 'Cancel'.

>>>The top of my controller has the following:

>>>E.g. I go to one page form from the Favorites menu, I then press 'Cancel', then I try to open that same form again (it's supposed to go to that same URL) and then nothing happens besides spinning wheel image. My idea is to go to some place else (best to the /) so the Favorites menu will work (and it does work with that).

I don't know - you haven't really explained how (or if) views are nested in your application. If the view into which the 'customerAccounts/PrefsAcs/InvoiceUDFs' template etc is loaded is a child view of that holding the menu items then maybe you could add a 'blank' url/template to your states and navigate to that on 'Cancel' ?
