Usage

/**
* 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. The brackets are omitted on the field name if its an array.  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]]]]])
