How to redirect to root page in jQuery?

Question

I'm now redirecting to main page in my Rails application using

redirect_to root_path

I want to do the same in jQuery.

i.e. window.location.replace("???");

How to do that?

Answer 1

window.location = '/'

Disadvantage in using window.location.replace('/') is user won't be able to press "Back" and go back to the previous page.
