How to redirect without using window.location

Question

If I click a button from page A, the browser will redirect to page B. In page B if I click a another button again it redirects to Page A. Here I used window.location.href to redirect the new page.

eg:window.location.href="http:\\localhost:12345\index2.html"

Is any other alternative way to redirect next page. I don't want to use windows.location

Update:

If I use windows.location the url which I come from is stored in document.reffer. For security purposes I don't want to allow to store the url.

Why don't you want to use ```window.location```? It's the standard way to redirect using JavaScript — Sean, Feb 17 '17 at 11:26

You can add links - tags - and style with CSS them to look like buttons...but I have the same question as @Sean - why no window.location? — motanelu, Feb 17 '17 at 11:27
if i use 'window.location' document.reffer is holding my previous page's url. i want to avoid this — CheckMyPost_045, Feb 17 '17 at 11:29
Agreed with @motanelu suggestion. Checkout this [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/710089/how-do-i-make-an-html-link-look-like-a-button). — Anadi Sharma, Feb 17 '17 at 11:30

Loading a new page via `window.location` does not allow you to add custom headers. — Suncat2000, Apr 22 '22 at 17:09

Location assign() Method

You may use this method example :-

function myFunction() {
    location.assign("https://www.google.co.in");
 }

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <button onclick="myFunction()">Load new document</button>
    </body>
    </html>

You can also use

window.location.replace("http://someUrl.com");

replace() does not keep the originating page in the session history.

$url =$('<a/>')
$url.attr('href',"http://google.com");
$url[0].click()

You can try this.

You can use location.assign() for redirect another page.

location.assign("https://www.facebook.com/");

Keep in mind that `location.assign` is subject to same-origin-policy and will throw a security exception if the page is not from the same location. See [MDN Web API Reference - window.location.assign](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location/assign). – georgeawg Feb 11 '20 at 20:27

why not use <a>. what you only to do is give it a class like button.
