window.location
Properties
The Location object defines the same URL-related properties that the
Link object does, with the exception of the
target. See the Link object for a description of
the hash, host,
hostname, href,
pathname, port,
protocol, and search
properties. Setting any of these properties causes the browser to
load and display the document from the new URL. As a shortcut, you
can also load a new document by assigning a URL string to the
location property of the Window.
Methods
