Simply,

window.open() will open a new window for your passing URL in side the parentheses.

window.location.href will redirect you to the passing URL with in the same window.

I mean use jQuery or javascript in the local Web Page. Can you have a good idea? Thank you. – MDLS Itec Mar 22 '19 at 04:55
According to my knowledge I think it's better to use javascript with in a separate file in your project folder. But anyways it depends on your taste :) – Bathiya Seneviratne Mar 22 '19 at 05:24
You can use `window.open('', '_self')` to open a url in the same tab https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open – Ernesto Alfonso Jul 11 '23 at 06:26
