javascript tutorial - [Solved-5 Solutions] How to redirect to another webpage ? - javascript - java script - javascript array

How can we redirect the user from one page to another using jQuery or pure JavaScript?

window.location.replace(...) will best simulate an HTTP redirect.

window.location.replace(...) is better than using window.location.href, because replace()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 we want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use location.href

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

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

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

This answer has merely been provided as a possible solution; it is obviously not the best solution, as it requires jQuery. Instead, prefer the pure JavaScript solution.

$(location).attr('href', 'http://wikitechy.com')2

	// window.location
window.location.replace('http://www.wikitechy.com')
window.location.assign('http://www.wikitechy.com')
window.location.href = 'http://www.wikitechy.com'
document.location.href = '/path'

// window.history
window.history.back()
window.history.go(-1)

// window.navigate; ONLY for old versions of Internet Explorer
window.navigate('top.jsp')


// Probably no bueno
self.location = 'http://www. wikitechy.com';
top.location = 'http://www. wikitechy.com';

// jQuery
$(location).attr('href','http://www. wikitechy.com')
$(window).attr('location','http://www. wikitechy.com')
$(location).prop('href', 'http://www. wikitechy.com')

This works for every browser:

window.location.href = 'your_url';

we also think that location.replace(URL) is the best way, but if we want to notify the search engines about our redirection (they don't analyze JavaScript code to see the redirection) we should add the rel="canonical" meta tag to your website.

Adding a noscript section with a HTML refresh meta tag in it, is also a good solution. I suggest you to use this JavaScript redirection tool to create redirections. It also has Internet Explorer support to pass the HTTP referrer.

        var referLink = document.createElement("a");
        referLink.href = url;
        document.body.appendChild(referLink);
        referLink.click();
    }
    else { window.location.replace(url); } // All other browsers
