A webpage redirect will take one webpage URL and point it to another. JavaScript offers many ways to redirect the user to a different web page.
It is often required to redirect to another webpage on loading a webpage, for example, due to the contents being moved to the new webpage.
1) Using an HTML meta tag
We can redirect another URL using a meta tag in HTML:
<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://newurl.com/"></head></html>
2) Using JavaScript
JavaScript offers many ways to redirect the user to a different web page.
Method 1:
window.location.href="http://google.com";
Method 2:
The replace() method is different than the previous ways because it rewrites the current page in the history.
window.location.replace("http://google.com")
Method 3:
window.location.assign('https://newurl.com')
3) Using jQuery
JQuery also provide way to redirect to another page
Method 1:
$(location).attr('href', 'http://google.com');
Method 2:
We can make reusable function and use it across the app.
jQuery.fn.redirectTo = function(url){window.location.href = url;}jQuery(window).redirectTo("http://google.com");
As you can see, there are many methods to redirect a webpage. Hopefully, you have a better understanding of their value and why it’s something you’ll need to learn, eventually.
