How can I make a redirect page in jQuery/JavaScript when using ajax?

Question

How can I redirect the user from one page to another using jQuery -> Ajax? Thanks for your time.

Solution 1

    $.ajax({
        url:"http://where.to/redirect",,
        async:false,
    });

This will load the url synchroniously, that means redirect the user "in jquery/javascript when using ajax". To "make a redirect page", write this:

    <script type="application/javascript" language="javascript">
    $.ajax({
        url:"http://where.to/redirect",,
        async:false,
    });
    </script>

... tada! We have a "a redirect page in jQuery/JavaScript when using ajax"! ;)

Solution 2

Try this if you want to redirect to another page once ajax call is success,

    $.ajax({
    url: "page1.html",
    success:function(result){
        document.location.href="page2.html";
    }});

What have you tried? And why do you want to do this? Why not just use a link to send the user to another page? Or are you already using AJAX to do something and want to send the user after the callback?

Using ajax to redirect is the exact opposite of it's intended use.
