how to redirect to home page
document.location.href="/";
window.location.href = "/";
This worked for me. If you have multiple folders/directories, you can use this:
window.location.href = "/folder_name/";
Can you do this on the server, using Apache's mod_rewrite for example? If not, you can use the window.location.replace
method to erase the current URL from the back/forward history (to not break the back button) and go to the root of the web site:
window.location.replace('/');
document.location.href="/";
or
window.location.href = "/";
According to the W3C, they are the same. In reality, for cross browser safety, you should use window.location
rather than document.location
.
