Redirecting a browser with Javascript....

Expand Post »

Hello everyone. Does anyone know if it is possible to redirect a browser with Javascript? If it is, could someone please give me a clue as to how it is done? I have searched the w3schools tutorial where I started learning Javascript but can't find anything on this. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

Steven.

A Google for "javascript redirect" would have answered yor question much quicker than posting here.

Re: Redirecting a browser with Javascript....

There is also the window.replace() method, which takes a string inside the parantheses. The difference between the .replace() method and the .location property, is that .replace() doesn't store the new page in the browser history.

Re: Redirecting a browser with Javascript....

This code is used specifically to redirect one Web page to another (i.e. if your Web site has moved, put this code at the old location)



<html>

  <head>

    <title>Redirect JavaScript-browsers</title>



    <script language="JavaScript">

      <!-- Beginning of JavaScript --------

        this.location = "http://www.newsite.com";

      // -- End of JavaScript code -------------- -->

    </script>



  </head>



  <body>

    This site is now located at <a href="http://www.newsite.com">http://www.newsite.com</a>.

  </body>

</html>

I hope that helps you out.
