php - How do I use a header location in jQuery?

Can I use a header location in jQuery for redirection or refresh?

Like in PHP:

header('location:www.google.co.in');
header("Refresh:1,url=home.php");

If not, what is the alternative way?

Answer

Headers are interpreted prior to the rendering of the document, and before jQuery is even loaded so these aren't an option. Instead, you can redirect the browser using document.location.

document.location.href = 'www.google.co.in';

For a jQuery approach you can use

$(location).attr('href', 'www.google.co.in');

however I would favor the plain javascript version.
