How to jump to new page in javascript.

[Jim]

Seems this should be simple but I can't find how to do it in any
of my JavaScript books.

I want to jump to a new page in a function, thusly,

function jumper( where )
{
if ( where == "here" )
{
'jump' "/myWebApp/here.jsp";
}
else if ( where == "there" )
{
'jump' "myWegApp/there.jsp";
{
else
{
'jump' "myWebApp/nowhere.jsp";
}
}

The best I've been able to do is reset the action attribute in a form
object and submit it:
function jumper( form, where )
{
form.action = where;
form.submit();
}
Seems like it should be easier. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Since it's a JavaScript question, it's really not appropriate for
comp.lang.java.programmer. I'm adding comp.lang.javascript to the
distribution, and setting followups to exclude cljp.

window.location.href = 'newpage.html';
