Adding an onclick function to go to url in JavaScript?
Try
window.location = url;
Also use
window.open(url);
if you want to open in a new window.
In jquery to send a user to a different URL you can do it like this:
$("a#thing_to_click").on('click', function(){ window.location = "http://www.google.com/"; });
this way will work too but the above is the newer more correct way to do it these days
$("a#thing_to_click").click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); window.location = "http://www.google.com/"; });
