I am using the window location method to redirect a webpage to another after a set amount of time.

The url needs to change from www.myurl.com/home to www.myurl.com/other. The problem is that I do not know what the final URLs will be so I cannot use absolute links, they have to be a path only. This is what I have so far:

 window.location.pathname = mobility.html

You can just prepend a / to your URL to make them relative to the domain root (without having to hardcode the domain name). Like this:

window.location = /mobility.html
