I tried to open html in a new tab and tried //window.open("home.html", '_self'); but it did not work

Question

I want to open new HTML page in the same tab. I tried using window.open('home.html','_self');, but this does not work. However, if I use window.open('home.html');, it opens in a new window.

How can I open HTML in the same page? I have tried all of these but none of them worked:

//window.open("home.html", '_top');
//window.location.replace("home.html");
//window.open('home.html','_self');
//window.location.assign("home.html")

Try using the window.location.href function.

E.g. window.location.href = "home.html";

function userChoice() { var x; x = document.getElementById('yesno').value; console.log(x); if (x == 'n' || x == 'N') { window.open('home.html', '_self'); } else { loadQuestion(currentQuestion); } } – Shankar Acharya Apr 05 '19 at 15:10

I'm not sure you want to use this in HTML or JQuery...whatever:

HTML

<a href="home.html">Home</a>

Jquery

location.href = "home.html";

Does not work. It works for window.open('home.html'); but opens in new tab. non of others are working. sad! – Shankar Acharya Apr 05 '19 at 15:17
That's weird....I used a lot window.open("home.html", "_self"); but apparently it does not work for you...still weird, I don't know what else to say, I'm sorry :/ – alesssz Apr 05 '19 at 15:21
