Javascript: open new page in same window
JavascriptWindowJavascript Problem Overview
Is there an easy way to modify this code so that the target URL opens in the SAME window?
<a href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));">click here</a>``
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open ('YourNewPage.htm','_self',false)
</script>
see reference: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp
Solution 2 - Javascript
The second parameter of window.open() is a string representing the name of the target window.
Set it to: "_self".
<a href="javascript:q=(document.location.href);void(open('http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(q),'_self','resizable,location,menubar,toolbar,scrollbars,status'));">click here</a>
Sidenote:
The following question gives an overview of an arguably better way to bind event handlers to HTML links.
Solution 3 - Javascript
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="window.location = 'http://example.com/submit.php?url=' + escape(document.location.href);'">Go</a>;
Solution 4 - Javascript
try this it worked for me in ie 7 and ie 8
$(this).click(function (j) {
var href = ($(this).attr('href'));
window.location = href;
return true;
Solution 5 - Javascript
Here's what worked for me:
<button name="redirect" onClick="redirect()">button name</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect(){
var url = "http://www.google.com";
window.open(url, '_top');
}
</script>
Solution 6 - Javascript
I'd take that a slightly different way if I were you. Change the text link when the page loads, not on the click. I'll give the example in jQuery, but it could easily be done in vanilla javascript (though, jQuery is nicer)
$(function() {
$('a[href$="url="]') // all links whose href ends in "url="
.each(function(i, el) {
this.href += escape(document.location.href);
})
;
});
and write your HTML like this:
<a href="http://example.com/submit.php?url=">...</a>
the benefits of this are that people can see what they're clicking on (the href is already set), and it removes the javascript from your HTML.
All this said, it looks like you're using PHP... why not add it in server-side?

So by adding the URL at the the end of the href, Each link will open in the same window? You could also probably use _BLANK within the HTML to do the same thing.
Solution 8 - Javascript
try
<a href="#"
onclick="location='http://example.com/submit.php?url='+escape(location)"
>click here</a>
