How can I redirect the user from one page to another using jQuery or pure JavaScript?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

One does not simply redirect using jQuery jQuery is not necessary, and window.location.replace(...) will best simulate an HTTP redirect. window.location.replace(...) is better than using window.location.href , because replace() does not keep the originating page in the session history, meaning the user won't get stuck in a never-ending back-button fiasco. If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use location.href If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use location.replace For example: // similar behavior as an HTTP redirect window.location.replace("https://stackoverflow.com"); // similar behavior as clicking on a link window.location.href = "https://stackoverflow.com";
