Redirect with message after success ajax call

Question

How to make it when function success redirect user to index page to show message on the page that deletion was successful? So far I was able only to redirect user

$.ajax({
   type: 'get',
   url: 'lessonDel.php', 
   data: 'ajax=1&delete=' + upload_id,

   success: function()
   {
        window.location.href = 'index.php';
        //alert('You successfully deleted this Lesson!  Status = ' + xhr.status); 
   }             
});         

Answer 1

change window.location.href = 'index.php#lessondelete';

in your index page :

$(function(){
var hash = window.location.hash
if(hash == "#lessondelete") {
  alert('You successfully deleted this Lesson!'); 
//$('body').prepend('<p>You successfully deleted this Lesson</p>')
}
});
