How to Open a URL in the Same Window and Tab in HTML5?

Open URL in the Same Window and Tab

Opening a URL in a new tab can often disrupt user experience. To open a link in the same window and tab that contains the page with the link, use the window.open function with the _self parameter.

For example:

window.open("https://example.com", "_self")

This line of code will open the URL "https://example.com" in the same window and tab where the original page is displayed.

Note that starting with HTML5, the window.open function requires an absolute URL (prepended with a protocol). Without it, window.open will try to open the URL relative to the current page, which may not be the desired behavior.
