jquery trigger for href not working

Question

As soon as the page load, href link should get trigger(Manual click should not happen).Plz help

<a href="www.google.com" id="info">Information</a>

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#info").click(function(){

  });
  $(window).load(function(){
    $("#info").trigger("click");
  });
});
</script>

First I'm not sure the window load event fires when inside a document ready event. Second, I'm unsure if the click event is defined for a link. If you fleshed out the click handler you're adding to it you could trigger it. Better yet, `window.location.href="www.google.com";` — Clint Powell, Feb 11 '14 at 08:17

Trigger the event as follows

<a href="www.google.com" id="info">Information</a>

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
     $("#info").click(function(){
         alert('clicked');
     }).trigger("click");
});
</script>

You do not need empty click handler for anchor. Just use:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#info").trigger("click");
});
</script>

Rewrite:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#info").click(function(){
    alert()
  });
  $("#info").click()
});

How about just redirecting with JQuery?

<script>
   $(document).ready(function(){
      window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
   });
</script>

Use this

    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#info").on("click",function(){
      var url = $(this).attr('href');
       $(location).attr('href',url);
    });
    $("#info").trigger("click");
    });
    </script>
