How to redirect to another webpage using JavaScript

Redirect a Webpage

There are a couple of ways to redirect to another webpage with JavaScript. The most popular ones are location.href and location.replace:

Example

// Simulate a mouse click:
window.location.href = "http://www.w3schools.com";

// Simulate an HTTP redirect:
window.location.replace("http://www.w3schools.com");

Note: The difference between href and replace, is that replace() removes the URL of the current document from the document history, meaning that it is not possible to use the "back" button to navigate back to the original document.
