Trigger event to click a link

Question

I have a hidden link and a button. I want when users click on the button they will go to the link. Why I'm not just show the link so users can click through the link because I don't want users see the link that appear at the bottom of browser.

<a id="stack" href="http://stackoverflow.com/"></a>
<button id="goTo">Stackoverflow</button>

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Maybe like this :

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#goTo").on('click',function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        window.location = $("#stack").attr('href');
    });
});

Answer 2

Add simple jquery to relay the click on the button. You can leave the a link out.

$("#goTo").click(function(){
 window.location = "http://stackoverflow.com/";
}
