Open URL in same window and in same tab

You need to use the name attribute:

window.open("https://www.youraddress.com","_self")

Edit: Url should be prepended with protocol. Without it tries to open relative url. Tested in Chrome 59, Firefox 54 and IE 11.

javascript html hyperlink href

Use this:

location.href = "http://example.com";

javascript html hyperlink href

In order to ensure that the link is opened in the same tab, you should use window.location.replace()

See the example below:

window.location.replace("http://www.w3schools.com");
