In my jquery code, I can open a new action using the following code:
window.open("ControllerAction");
However, this opens the controller action in a different tab. How can I make this open in the same window without creating a separate tab.
This is basically a workaround I have found to doing page refresh in asp.net mvc.
You need to use Window.location
Though Window.location is a read-only Location object, you can also assign a DOMString to it. This means that you can work with location as if it were a string in most cases: location = 'http://www.example.com' is a synonym of location.href = 'http://www.example.com'
Basically you can use one of these, assign() and replace() navigates to the URL without adding a new record to the history. Here you find more: Window.location
var url = "/{controller}/{action}";
window.location.href = url;
window.location.assign(url);
window.location = url;
window.location.replace =url;
instead
window.open("ControllerAction");
Thanks for anyone who searched but I got it to work. Below code works.
window.location.replace("ControllerAction");
window.location.href = "/{controller}/{action}";
