window.location.href going a folder back?

Question

So I have a html document that is located at localhost/r/index.php, but when I do window.location.href="localhost" it sends me to locahost/r/localhost which I don't want. I want my script to send me to localhost. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You use / to denote the root directory of your webserver:

window.location.href="/";

Or, you can use a full url:

window.location.href="http://localhost";

Answer 2

window.location.href="localhost" => window.location.href="/"
