Ajax login redirect

Question

I'm using jquery Ajax function to process a user login in a jquery pop up modal. Simplemodal. The script posts the username and password then displays the out come in a hidden div using jquery .show function. The question is in my login script it posts data back fine but how can I redirect the user if there login is successful. Normally I would use a php header but that doesn't reload tr close the modal popup just loads the header into the popup.

Can anyone help.

Thanks

It's JavaScript, so redirect user in one of possible ways. More: http://ntt.cc/2008/01/21/5-ways-to-redirect-url-with-javascript.html — Sean Doe, Dec 21 '13 at 21:59

Send back your data to the ajax response as an array with a status inside of it.

if(logic to determine login was false){
    return json_encode(array('status' => false, 'action' => 'path/to/redirect/to'));
}

Then in your response, evaluate the status.

success:function(data){
    if(data.status == false){ 
        window.location = data.action;
    }
}

How about:

document.location.href='/newpage/';

Or:

window.location = '/newpage/';

either one works.
