How can I go to a new page from within javascript?

Question

I have a link like this:

<a href="www.example.com">

I would like to simulate the clicking of this link within javascript with a function that is called with the left arrow but I am not sure how to do it.

Now I have this:

$(window).keypress(function (e)
{
   if (e.keyCode == 37)
   {
    //  position 1
   }

});

But I am not sure how to change the page to the link "www.example.com" from within javascript at position 1. Can someone help me with this.

Answer 1

You could use the following to perform a redirect:

window.location.href = 'www.example.com';

Answer 2

You could set window.location to the url you want the page to load, like:

window.location = "www.example.com"
