Answer 1

Add .href:

function gohome()
{
window.location.href="../index.html"
}

Answer 2

I don't think you need a javascript function to do go home you can just do this:

<a accesskey="h" id="home" href="../index.html">Home<\/a>

if you don't want it to show on the home page though you can do something like this assuming the home page is example.com/index.html

if(window.location.pathname=="/index.html"){
 document.getElementById('home').style.display = 'none';
}

Not in the function, but just called sometime after the link in the source code or in the head.
