Ajax redirect not performed

Question

Data is persisting in table but after that page is not redirected to the specified destination.

Is redirection through ajax possible?

Please check the code and help me out

function foodLog(){
    var getDate = $('#ddBox').val();
    var stringDate = getDate;
    var newdate = stringDate.split("/").reverse().join("-");
    var data={ 
        servings : $('#demo_vertical').val(),
        calories : "12",
        carbs : $('#carbs').text(),
        carter : $('#carter').text(),
        cholestral : $('#cholestral').text(),
        date: newdate,  
        fiber : $('#fiber').text(),
        foodItem: $('#foodItem').text(),
        foodtype:$('#foodtype').text(),
        totalFat : $('#totalFat').text(),
        saturatedFat : $('#satFat').text(),
        sugar : $('#sugar').text(),
        protein: $('#protein').text(),
        size :$('#size').text(),
    };

    $.ajax({  
        type : "POST",   
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        url : "/fitbase/foodlog/create",
        dataType: "text",
        data : JSON.stringify(data),
        success : function(response) {

            if (response.redirect){
                console.log("Redirecting to page") 
                window.location.href = '/'; 
            }
        },
        error : function(e) {  
            alert("Object" +e);
        }  
    });  
};

is the `console.log` occurring? i mean is `response.redirect` true? — PlantTheIdea, Oct 14 '14 at 17:51
Since you specify `dataType: "text"`, `response` will be a string, not an object. So `response.redirect` makes no sense. — Barmar, Oct 14 '14 at 17:53
that means you aren't getting a response. the real question isn't "why isn't this redirecting", its "why am i not getting the anticipated response". try doing `console.log(response)` to see what object you get back. edit: did not notice you had `dataType:'text'`, yeah that'll muck it up. — PlantTheIdea, Oct 14 '14 at 17:53
in console.log(response), its returning my method return type which is boolean "true" but not getting json response — Karthikeyan, Oct 14 '14 at 18:09

I think window.location.href should contain the entire redirection url instead of '/' in your code.

You can use relative URLs there. – Barmar Oct 14 '14 at 18:07
