how to redirect to home page

document.location.href="/";

window.location.href = "/";

This worked for me. If you have multiple folders/directories, you can use this:

window.location.href = "/folder_name/";

Can you do this on the server, using Apache's mod_rewrite for example? If not, you can use the window.location.replace method to erase the current URL from the back/forward history (to not break the back button) and go to the root of the web site:

window.location.replace('/');

document.location.href="/";

or

 window.location.href = "/";

According to the W3C, they are the same. In reality, for cross browser safety, you should use window.location rather than document.location.

See: http://www.w3.org/TR/Window/#window-location

(Note: I copied the difference explanation above, from this question.)
