How to execute some jQuery or JavaScript code after a redirect has completed

Question

How can I execute jQuery/JS code as soon as a jQuery/JS redirect like...

$(location).attr(\'href\',\'/target_path\');

...or...

Answer 1

It is impossible to tell JavaScript to execute some code after a redirect.

However you have different options:

1. Pass a string in the redirect URL and then do something on "ready"
2. Store some information in a cookie and then do something on "ready"
3. Store some data using DOM storage (namely sessionStorage) if you don't mind the smaller browser support
