[javascript] How do I redirect with JavaScript?

How do you redirect to a page from another page with JavaScript?

You may need to explain your question a little more.

When you say "redirect", to most people that suggest changing the location of the HTML page:

window.location = url;

When you say "redirect to function" - it doesn't really make sense. You can call a function or you can redirect to another page.
You can even redirect and have a function called when the new page loads.

Compared to window.location="url"; it is much easyer to do just location="url"; I always use that

You can't redirect to a function. What you can do is pass some flag on the URL when redirecting, then check that flag in the server side code and if raised, execute the function.

For example:

document.location = "MyPage.php?action=DoThis";

Then in your PHP code check for "action" in the query string and if equal to "DoThis" execute whatever function you need.

window.location.replace('http://sidanmor.com');

It's better than using window.location.href = 'http://sidanmor.com';

Using replace() is better because it does not keep the originating page in the session history, meaning the user won't get stuck in a never-ending back-button fiasco.

If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use window.location.href

If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use window.location.replace

For example:

// similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
window.location.replace("http://sidanmor.com");

// similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = "http://sidanmor.com";

Taken from here: How to redirect to another page in jQuery?

• If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use location.href.
• If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use location.replace.

For example:

// Similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com");

// Similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";
