How to redirect when clicking outside bootstrap modal-content?

Question

I have a modal in my webpage where i've already made it so that when close button is clicked it redirects to the homepage. But i also need it to redirect to the homepage when clicking outside the bootstrap modal, ie the ".modal-content" class . I tried to do this

$('#enterCodeModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function (e) {
    window.location.replace='index.html';
});

by looking at other post similar to this but it did'nt work. It would be a great help if someone could help me solve this.

It works with window.location.href as you can see here :

 $(document).ready(function(e) { $('#myModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function(e) { window.location.href = 'https://google.com' }); });
