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