Javascript method to navigate to other url

Question

Probably a stupid question, but is there a Javascript method to browse another url, from the existing window, not window.open() that would open another window

So something that edit the window.document.URL (possible) and refresh? not sure its possible client-side

You can use

window.location="http://www.dignaj.com";

You can also use navigate like this (only works in some IE)

window.navigate("http://www.dignaj.com");

window.navigate is a non-standard IE method unsupported by many other browsers (e.g. Firefox, Chrome). – darrinm Aug 08 '12 at 23:48

window.location = "http://stackoverflow.com/"

Or:

window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com/"

If you want to refresh you can use the method reload:

window.location.reload(true);

I think this is what you're looking for:

window.location.replace('http://www.google.ch')
