How to get the browser to navigate to URL in JavaScript

Try these:

  1. window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com';
  2. window.location.assign("http://www.w3schools.com");
  3. window.location = 'http://www.google.com';

It seems that this is the correct way window.location.assign("http://www.mozilla.org");

This works in all browsers:

window.location.href = '...';

If you wanted to change the page without it reflecting in the browser back history, you can do:

window.location.replace('...');
