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

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

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
