If you want to simulate someone clicking on a link, use location.href
If you want to simulate an HTTP redirect, use location.replace
For example:
// similar behavior as an HTTP redirect
window.location.replace(“http://stackoverflow.com”);
// similar behavior as clicking on a link
window.location.href = “http://stackoverflow.com”;
