    Location.assign()

    The Location.assign() method causes the window to load and display the document at the URL specified.

    If the assignment can't happen because of a security violation, a DOMException of the SECURITY_ERROR type is thrown. This happens if the origin of the script calling the method is different from the origin of the page originally described by the Location object, mostly when the script is hosted on a different domain.

    If the provided URL is not valid, a DOMException of the SYNTAX_ERROR type is thrown.

    Syntax

    object.assign(url);

    Parameters

    url
    Is a DOMString containing the URL of the page to navigate to.

    Examples

    // Navigate to the Location.reload article
document.location.assign('https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location.reload');
