How to redirect a website from the server on an Ajax request

Is it possible to redirect a web site from the server on an ajax request?

Eg.

  1. The website (www.myapp.com) makes an ajax request to the server.
  2. The server redirects to the same URL with a hash eg. www.myapp.com#page=main.
  3. Website is redirected to www.myapp.com#page=main.

I need to redirect it to the same url but with a hash.

Using window.location.href = http://www.myapp.com#page=main won't work since it will just update the location with the hash.

Aeah, it is. You can use meta or javascript redirect. Just append following code into an ajax reponse & make sure that reponse is placed into actual page

 <script>document.location.href='newpage.php'</script>

or to refresh, return 

 <script>document.location.reload(1);</script>

No.
An AJAX request just returns data to the client; the browser does not act on it at all.

Instead, you need to make the server tell your client code to do a redirect in its response, then write client code to check whether the server asked it to redirect and navigate to the new location.
