/** * jQuery Redirect * @param {string} url - Url of the redirection * @param {Object} values - (optional) An object with the data to send. If not present will look for values as QueryString in the target url. * @param {string} method - (optional) The HTTP verb can be GET or POST (defaults to POST) * @param {string} target - (optional) The target of the form. If you set "_blank" will open the url in a new window. * @param {boolean} traditional - (optional) This provides the same function as jquery's ajax function.

This allows arrays to work with MVC.net among others. * @param {boolean} redirectTop - (optional) If its called from a iframe, force to navigate the top window. */ $.redirect(url, [values, [method, [target, [traditional, [redirectTop]]]]]) /** * jQuery Redirect * @param {string} opts - Options object * @param {string} opts.url - Url of the redirection * @param {Object} opts.values - (optional) An object with the data to send.
