Adding an onclick function to go to url in JavaScript?

hyperlink, javascript, jquery

Solution

Try

 window.location = url;

Also use

 window.open(url);

if you want to open in a new window.

Problem

I am using this fancy little JavaScript to highlight a field as the user hovers over it. Could you please tell me if there is a way of adding an `onclick` function which will act as a link and go to a URL? ``` <script> $(function() { $('tr').hover(function() { $(this).css('background-color', '#eee'); $(this).contents('td').css({'border': '0px solid red', 'border-left': 'none', 'border-right': 'none'}); $(this).contents('td:first').css('border-left', '0px solid red'); $(this).contents('td:last').css('border-right', '0px solid red'); }, function() { $(this).css('background-color', '#FFFFFF'); $(this).contents('td').css('border', 'none'); $('a#read_message.php').click(function(){ URL(); }); }); }); </script> ```
