Corrected Code:

         e.preventDefault();
         //for confirmation that status change
         var ans=confirm("Are you sure to change status?");
         if(!ans) {
             return false;
         }  
         var post_url           = $(this).attr('href');
         var transaction_status_update = $('#transaction_status_update').val();      

         $.ajax({
             type: "POST",
             url: post_url+"&transaction_status_update="+transaction_status_update,
                 data:$('#transaction_form').serialize(),
             dataType: 'json',  
             success: function(data) {              
                 var error = data.login_error;

                 $(".ui-widget-content").dialog("close");
                //This variables use for display title and success massage of transaction update              
                 var dialog_title   = data.title;              
                 var dialog_message = data.success_massage; 
                 //This get link where want to rerdirect
                 var redirect_link  = data.href;            

                 var $dialog = $("<div class='ui-state-success'></div>")
                 .html("<p class='ui-state-error-success'>"+dialog_message+"</p>")
                 .dialog({
                     autoOpen: false,
                     modal:true,
                     title: dialog_title,
                     width: 500,
                     height: 80,
                     close: function(){                                     
                         document.location.href =redirect_link;
                     }                  
                 });                    

                 $dialog.dialog('open');                    
             }          
        });
     });

Note: Remove }); from the last line.
