jQuery location href
I think you are looking for:
window.location = 'http://someUrl.com';
It's not jQuery; it's pure JavaScript.
There's no need for jQuery.
window.location.href = 'http://example.com';
Use:
window.location.replace(...)
See this Stack Overflow question for more information:
How do I redirect to another webpage?
Or perhaps it was this you remember:
var url = "http://stackoverflow.com";
location.href = url;
This is easier:
location.href = 'http://address.com';
Or
location.replace('http://address.com'); // <-- No history saved.
