Click on page load to get a url

The code below is supposed to get the new url as root while the page loads. I tried targeting the class as .click and that didn't work as well. Any help would be appreciated.

    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js'></script>

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

    <a href="/" class="click">&nbsp;</a>

You can use trigger('click') to trigger the JavaScript code for a click event. However, for security reasons, you cannot use it to simulate a mouse click that would actually open a link. You must do that by assigning to window.location directly:

$('a.click').trigger('click'); // everything but changing the URL
window.location = $('a.click').attr('href'); // change the URL

Also, please read this.

You could just use this and skip jQuery and the a tag altogether:

<script>
    window.location.href = '/';
</script>

This will set the browser's address to the site root and take you there without having to simulate any clicks or even wait on document ready. Also, no jQuery needed.
