Change window location Jquery

Question

I am using ajax to load my website content and want to update the window location when ajax is successful.

How can I update the window location to "/newpage"?? I need users to be able to go back and to refresh. Is this possible??

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're using jquery to make the AJAX call so you can do this pretty easily by putting the redirect in the success like so:

    $.ajax({
       url: 'ajax_location.html',
       success: function(data) {
          //this is the redirect
          document.location.href='/newpage/';
       }
    });

Answer 2

You can set the value of document.location.href for this purpose. It points to the current URL. jQuery is not required to do this.
