Redirect using JS

Question

Here is my code, I want add.php to open in the current tab not open a new window all together.

<input type="submit" class="btn" value="Add Record" onclick="addrecord()">
          <script>
               function addrecord() {
                    window.open("add.php", "Add Record", "_self");
               }
          </script>

due to window.open .always it will open in new window..u jst use window.location='http://someUrl.com'; or location.href='http//eg.com'; — Maheshvirus, Jan 07 '16 at 07:14
if you want to open form then try calling AJAX and replace HTML of current window. — Ajay Makwana, Jan 07 '16 at 07:16

For your case, you should redirect the page not opening a new window. Try below snippet.

<input type="submit" class="btn" value="Add Record" onclick="addrecord()">

    <script type="text/javascript">
                   function addrecord() {
                        window.location = "http://www.google.com";
                   }
    </script>

Try this onclick="window.location = "http://www.google.com";"> if it works then put the snippet in the head tag – Venkat.R Jan 08 '16 at 01:09

Thank you for the answer I appreciate it! I was reading an article the other day about using javascript or PHP to "submit" my button choices, I guess some it soaked in. lol – Tye Lucas Jan 08 '16 at 02:02
