title: How to use window.location.replace in jquery or javascript
body: <p>I have a website for which I have implemented livechat, when user clicks on livechat link it opens a new window that is fine. I want to do is when no operator is online then it should not open a new window when livechat link clicked instead it should redirect to the contact us page of the website in the same window in the currently opened tab, Is it possible?
  I do not know how is it possible, what I have tried is this , it redirects to this page but opens in a new window.</p>
  
  <pre><code>window.location.replace('http://mywebsite.com/index.php?route=information/contact');
  </code></pre>
