JavaScript: How to Redirect to New URL?

To redirect to another webpage using JavaScript, you can use either of the following methods: 

1. location.href: This method is used to set or return the complete URL of the current page. To redirect to a new page, you can assign the new URL to the location.href property. Here’s an example:

           window.location.href = "https://www.example.com/";

2. location.replace(): This method is used to replace the current document with the specified one. It removes the URL of the current document from the document history, meaning that it is not possible to use the “back” button to navigate back to the original document. Here’s an example:   

            window.location.replace("https://www.example.com/");

   You can also use the location.assign() method to load a new document. Here’s an example:

            window.location.assign("https://www.example.com/")

HTML:
html
<p id="myParagraph">Initial Text</p>
<button onclick="changeContent()">Change Content</button>

JavaScript:
javascript
function changeContent() {
  // Get the element by its ID
  var paragraph = document.getElementById("myParagraph");

  // Change the text content of the element
  paragraph.textContent = "New Text";
}

This JavaScript function changeContent() uses document.getElementById("myParagraph") to select the paragraph element with the ID "myParagraph". Then, it updates the textContent property of that element to change the displayed text.

This method allo…
[17:10, 01/01/2024] Amr: To redirect to another page using JavaScript, you can use the window.location object. There are a couple of ways to achieve this:

1. *Using window.location.href:*
   javascript
   // Redirect to another page
   window.location.href = "https://www.example.com";
   

2. *Using window.location.replace():*
   javascript
   // Redirect to another page
   window.location.replace("https://www.example.com");
   

Both methods will redirect the current browser window to the specified URL. The difference between them lies in how the browser's history is handled:
- window.location.href sets the href property of the window.location object, allowing the user to navigate back to the original page using the browser's back button.
- window.location.replace() replaces the current page in the browser's history with the new page, making it impossible to navigate back to the original page using the back button.

Choose the method that best fits your specific use case based on whether you want the user to be able to navigate back to the original page or not. Replace the URL ("https://www.example.com") with the desired destination URL.
