JavaScript Redirect
Often you will want to redirect the user to another web page, either on your website or another. This can be easily achieved in JavaScript with a redirect via the document.location property.
document.location = "http://www.yahoo.com/";
Identify current URL
As document.location is simply a variable, you can retrieve the current URL from it:
var currenturl = document.location
For the exact location, document.location.href can also be used. In addition to href, document.location
also has other properties covering the parts of the URL, including
"protocol", "host", "hostname", "port", "pathname", "search" and
"hash". For example, for http://developertutorials.com:80/, the values
are the following:
| href | "http://developertutorials.com/scripts/7/?someparam=somevalue#someid" |
| protocol | "http:" |
| host | "developertutorials.com" |
| hostname | "developertutorials.com" |
| port | |
| pathname | "/scripts/7/" |
| search | ?someparam=somevalue |
| hash | #someid |
When working with these Redirects, however, it is important not to rely entirely on them.
