How do I redirect with JavaScript? [duplicate]


To redirect to another page, you can use:

window.location = "http://www.yoururl.com";


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 redirectwindow.location.replace("http://sidanmor.com");// similar behavior as clicking on a linkwindow.location.href = "http://sidanmor.com";

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.
