In JavaScript, you can use the window.location object to manipulate the current URL of the browser. One common use case is to redirect the user to a different page. To perform a redirect, you can use the window.location.href property to set the new URL.
Here’s an example of how you can redirect the user to a new page using JavaScript:
// Redirect to a new page
window.location.href = "https://www.example.com";
JavaScript Window location redirect example
Simple example code demonstrating a JavaScript redirect using the window.location object:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirect Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to the Redirect Example</h1>
<script>
// Redirect to a new page after 3 seconds
setTimeout(function() {
window.location.href = "https://eyehunts.com";
}, 3000); // 3 seconds
</script>
</body>
</html>
Output:
In the above example, the page displays a heading “Welcome to the Redirect Example.” After a delay of 3 seconds (specified in milliseconds), the JavaScript code inside the <script> tags triggers a redirect using window.location.href.
