How to redirect the user from one page to another? Try these:

// similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com");

// similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";

It is better than using window.location.href =, because replace() does not put the originating page in the session history, meaning the user won’t get stuck in a never-ending back-button fiasco. If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use location.href. If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use location.replace.

Also, you could redirect back to prev page by using window.history.back(-1);.
