If you want to redirect one web page to another using <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/javascript\/\">JavaScript<\/a>, you will realize there is more than one way to correctly do it depending on the scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major factors to determine which method to use depends on the sort of behavior that you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main ways to perform the redirect that you want albeit some of these are not true redirects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The ideal method to use is the <code>location replace<\/code> method. This method simulates a redirect and replaces the current history of the page making it impossible to use the back button to reach the original page. You can use <code>location replace<\/code> like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">window.location.replace(&quot;http:\/\/local.brightwhiz&quot;);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>2. You can use the location assigned to load a page and keep the browser history allowing you to use the back button. You can use <code>location assign<\/code> like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">window.location.assign(&quot;http:\/\/local.brightwhiz&quot;);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>3. This final option using <code>location href<\/code> simulates clicking of a link and is not a true redirect although it can also simulate a redirect. This method also maintains the browser history allowing you to use the back button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">window.location.href=&quot;http:\/\/local.brightwhiz&quot;;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus; Redirect Using jQuery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, if you have included <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/jquery\/\">jQuery<\/a> on your project for other functionality, you have the option of using it to redirect to another web page. The following are examples of the methods you can use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">$(location).attr(&#039;href&#039;,&#039;http:\/\/local.brightwhiz&#039;);\n\n$(window).attr(&#039;location&#039;,&#039;http:\/\/local.brightwhiz&#039;);\n\n$(location).prop(&#039;href&#039;, &#039;http:\/\/local.brightwhiz&#039;);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it. That should get you started.
