JavaScript/JQuery : Redirect page examples
Notes for future references on how to redirect pages with JavaScript or JQuery. Sometimes, the simplest task is the hardest to remember :(
To simulate a HTTP redirect use replace
:
window.location.replace("//socketloop.com");
To simulate a click on a link to redirect, use href
:
window.location.href = "//socketloop.com";
document.location.href = '//socketloop.com';
To handle redirect based on referrer, first check if the referrer.indexOf and redirect based on the condition :
// redirect back to main page URL if the referrer is from search engine or
// someone types the domain in directly
if(document.referrer.indexOf('socketloop.com') >= 0) {
history.go(-1);
}
else {
window.location.href = 'socketloop.com/welcome';
}
To go back with checking referrer.indexOf, use :
window.history.back()
window.history.go(-1)
JavaScript should be sufficient, but no harm to learn the JQuery equivalents :
$(location).attr('href','//www.socketloop.com')
$(window).attr('location','//www.socketloop.com')
