Content

My requirement is to navigate to the different URL on click of a link. It's not working in Shell JS. When I write the code like below. 

$(document).on("click", ".localeLink", function(e) { 
var localeCode = e.target.id; 
if (localeCode == "en-US") { 
console.log("Navigate to google"; 
var url = "http://google.com"; 
$(location).attr('href', url); 
} 
}); 

Navigate to google log is getting printed in the console. but the current page is not getting navigate to google.com.
