CODE:
<style>
.mydiv {
border: 1px solid #00f;
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>
<div class="mydiv">blah blah blah.
<a href="http://examples.com">Examples link</a>
</div>
JS:
$(".mydiv").click(function(){
if($(this).find("a").length){
window.location.href = $(this).find("a:first").attr("href");
}
});
OR:
Simply write:
<a href="http://examples.com">
<div class="mydiv">blah blah blah.
Examples link
</div>
</a>
.mydiv, it should be redirected to any link within it. is it so??Move the anchor element out of the div to wrap it
<a href="http://examples.com">
<div class="mydiv">blah blah blah</div>.
Examples link
</a>
$(document).on("click", ".mydiv", function(){
location.href = "http://examples.com";
}
If you want to use jQuery to do this, you're looking for the click function.
$('.mydiv').click(function(){
location.href = 'example.com';
});
With JQuery as was requested:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.mydiv').click(function() {
document.location.href='http://examples.com';
});
});
OFC, you can (and should) let the browser handle it as suggested by Hiral.
In consideration of the other answers which haven't yet been accepted, I assume that you want to use multiple <div class="mydiv">, with differing href attributes of the <a> element.
If the <a> element will always be the last child of its parent:
$(".mydiv").click(function(){
window.location.href = this.lastChild.href;
});
Remember to remove whitespace and the end of the <div>.

If the <a> element will be somewhere (though not necessarily at the end) in the <div>:
HTML
<div class="mydiv">blah blah blah.
<a href="http://examples.com" class="mylink">Examples link</a>
</div>
JS
$(".mydiv").click(function(){
window.location.href = this.getElementsByClassName("mylink")[0].href;
});
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JAJuE/
you can simply do with HTML
<a href="http://examples.com">
<div class="yourDiv">blah blah blah.
Examples link
</div>
</a>
but
if you want to do that with jquery do something like this
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".yourDiv").on('click', function(){
//As an HTTP redirect (back button will not work )
window.location.replace("http://www.example.com");
});
});
