How to open a website in the same tab with javascript

So I am trying to make a tab system for my website and I have been using window.open("The Website") except when I use it, the site opens on a new tab. Is there a way to make it open on the same tab?

document.location = "your_url"

or

window.location = "your_url";

or you can use jQuery to create link and then click on it

var link $('<a href="your_url" style="display: none;">x</a>');
$('body').append(link);
link.click();

If you assign to window.location, then the current window will load a new URL in that tab:

window.location = "http://www.yoursite.com";

See What's the difference between window.location and document.location in JavaScript? for why it is slightly safer (for cross browser compatibility) to use window.location instead of document.location, though in most browsers you can use either.

var iframe = $('<iframe src="yoursite.com"></iframe>');
$(document).append(iframe);
