Location: href

The href property of the Location interface is a stringifier that returns a USVString containing the whole URL, and allows the href to be updated.

Setting the value of href navigates to the provided URL. If you want redirection, use Location.replace().

Syntax

string = object.href;
object.href = string;

Examples

// Lets imagine an <a id="myAnchor" href="https://developer.mozilla.org/Location/href"> element is in the document
var anchor = document.getElementById("myAnchor");
var result = anchor.href; // Returns: 'https://developer.mozilla.org/Location/href'
