use variable with window.location.href

I was wondering how I would be able to execute a command such as this in javascript. I just want to store the url as a string in a variable and redirect them to it when the time comes -

var linkz = "http://www.google.com/";
window.location.href= linkz;

Why doesn't this work?

Thanks,

  • If you're using links this way (as mentioned in a comment):

    <a href="javascript:checkCk(google.com)">Google</a>

    Then the problem is that you're not passing a string to your checkCk() function.

    Try this:

    <a href="javascript:checkCk('http://google.com')">Google</a>

    The code you used for window.location.href should work.

    At this point, I don't see why you'd use javascript if all you're doing is replacing the default behavior of the link.
