You can do a relative redirect:

window.location.href = '../'; //one level up

or

window.location.href = '/path'; //relative to domain

If you use location.hostname you will get your domain.com part. Then location.pathname will give you /path/folder. I would split location.pathname by / and reassemble the URL. But unless you need the querystring, you can just redirect to .. to go a directory above.

• window.location.assign("../"); // one level up
• window.location.assign("/path"); // relative to domain

redirect to ../

<a href="..">no JS needed</a>

.. means parent directory.
