Where to add a redirect in my jquery

Question

I have a conditional statement that I need to add a redirect depending on what conditional statement is met and I have no clue how to proceed. I am using the jquery.if plugin as well.

<div id="load"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// ** DEMO 1 *************
var b1 = "Wholesale";

$("#load")
    .IF(b1 == "Wholesale")
    .html ("window.location.href = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page-in-jquery';")

    .ELSE()

    .ENDIF()    




</script>

This is miraculously ambiguous. What exactly does this plugin do and what conditions are you trying to meet? — Derek Adair, Sep 16 '11 at 20:15

I have no idea why you're trying to write logic flow as if they were suddenly jQuery selectors.

if (b1 == "Wholesale") {
   $("#load").html("window.location.href = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page-in-jquery';")
};

And do you really want to be writing that script into HTML? Why don't you just run it if you want to perform a redirect?

if (b1 == "Wholesale") {
   window.location.href = 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page-in-jquery';
};

(OK, I just found the bit about jQuery.if. But I still don't care.) — Lightness Races in Orbit, Sep 16 '11 at 20:25

You don't need jQuery to redirect via the clientside. I'd suggest using plain old vanilla JavaScript via the DOM.

window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com"; should do the trick if all you need is a redirect.

The above is really confusing. That said, jQuery's not going to do much for you in this case. Also given that you don't really have an else statement to make I don't think you need it. Here's all you really need to do:

if(b1 == "Wholesale") {
  // code to be executed if condition is true
  window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/503093/how-can-i-make-a-redirect-page-in-jquery");
);
