Redirecting to a New URL Using JavaScript
Here's how you can redirect to a new URL using JavaScript:
Using window.location.href
The most straightforward method to redirect to a new URL is by setting the window.location.href
property to the target URL. This method simulates a click on a link by the user and is suitable for most redirect needs.
window.location.href = 'https://example.com';
Using window.location.replace()
If you want to redirect the user without keeping the current page in the session history, you can use the window.location.replace()
method. This is useful if you do not want the user to be able to use the back button to navigate back to the original page.
window.location.replace('https://example.com');
- Use
window.location.href
if you want the user to be able to navigate back to the original page using the back button. - Use
window.location.replace()
to redirect the user and prevent them from returning to the original page via the back button.
