Use jQuery to navigate away from page

I will only have a relative link available to me but I want to use jQuery to navigate to this rel link. I only see AJAX functionality in jQuery. How can I do this using jQuery or just pure HTML/JavaScript?

window.location = myUrl;

Anyway, this is not jQuery: it's plain javascript

Other answers rightly point out that there is no need to use jQuery in order to navigate to another URL; that's why there's no jQuery function which does so!

If you're asking how to click a link via jQuery then assuming you have markup which looks like:

<a id="my-link" href="/relative/path.html">Click Me!</a>

You could click() it by executing:

$('#my-link').click();
