Javascript/Jquery open relative page in browser

Question

I am on

www.foo.com

how to call javascript or jquery to navigate to

www.foo.com/site1

or if I am on www.foo.com/site1 to go on

www.foo.com/site1/site2

Answer 1

window.location.href = window.location.href + "/site1"

I suppose this would work.

Answer 2

to get inside site1 from outside

window.location.href="site1/";

to get inside site1/site2 if you are inside site1

 window.location.href="site2/";

to get inside site1/site2 directly if you are "outside"

window.location.href="site1/site2/";

to get out of site1 if you are inside site1

window.location.href="../";

to get out of site1/site2 if you are inside site1/site2

window.location.href="../../";

to get out of site1a if you are inside site1a and into site1b (at same level)

window.location.href="../site1b/";

Of course you do not need javascript for this if you use links like <a href="../site1b/">GO</a> to click.

Using just window.location=.. works too (has even broader support) and even location=.. (you can omit "window.", but I wouldn't do it for clarity and maybe compatibility)

Javascript: Setting location.href versus location

I used all paths with trailing "/", being folders, to avoid automatic redirects from "site1" to "site1/" (slightly slower).

Answer 3

This will trigger it

window.location.href="url/goes/here";
