I tried to open html in a new tab and tried //window.open(“home.html”, '_self'); but it did not work

Question

I want to open new HTML page in the same tab. I tried using window.open('home.html','_self'); , but this does not work. However, if I use window.open('home.html'); , it opens in a new window.

How can I open HTML in the same page? I have tried all of these but none of them worked:

//window.open("home.html", '_top');
//window.location.replace("home.html");
//window.open('home.html','_self');
//window.location.assign("home.html")

Answer 1

Try using the window.location.href function.

Eg window.location.href = "home.html";

Answer 2

I'm not sure you want to use this in HTML or JQuery...whatever:

HTML

<a href="home.html">Home</a>

Jquery

location.href = "home.html";
