          }

Answer 1

You have to stop submission on same page and then go to new location

You have used validate() function in button onclick . But you should use return validate() which will return boolean value to stop form from submitting

 function validate() { var username = document.getElementById('username').value; var password = document.getElementById('password').value; if (username == 'admin' && password == 'admin') { alert('login successful!'); window.location = '/'; //change with your location return false; } }

 <div class="container"> <form> <h1 id="form">Login!</h1> <div class="login"> <label class="name">username:</label> <input id="username" class="username" type="text" placeholder="name..."> <label class="pass">password:</label> <input id="password" class="password" type="password" placeholder="password..."> </div> <div class="submit"> <button id="submit" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="return validate()">Submit</button> </div> </form> </div>

Answer 2

I have figured it out. I just needed the backslash.

 window.location.href = '/link.html';
