redirect via javascript

[Lee David]

I want to redirect anyone going to one site to another site. I have a
"windows.open" on the original site and that opens a new browser, but what I
want it the old one to be replaced (or at least go way once they are
redirected).

How do I do this?

TIA,
Lee

document.location.href = newURL;

Then use a server-side redirect. It's reliable, friendly to all user
agents, and doesn't break the Back button.

Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.

Unfortunately, that didn't work.

I appreciate the response, however.

Thank you, that worked. Unfortunately, the cite gave an example of what not
to do, but none of what to do. But I made an assumption and it seemed to
work.

BTW, I couldn't find it in 'JavaScript The Definitive Guide' by O'Reilly. I
really to try to find the answer before I ask the question. Neither the
"redirect" nor the "refresh" were in the definitive guide.<g>

It provides links to other documents that describe how to implement
server-side redirects for a selection of systems.

Would this work ?

window.location.replace("newpage.html");

Might help eliminate some of that back button abuse.

Later, Art.

You have already read that `document.location' is deprecated long since.
