clicking link in javascript -

i have anchor tag on pages.

<a id='signout' href='//somelocation'>signout</a>

and have javascript file available pages. there function called , attached 'click' , 'touch' , 'key press' handler trying click link. like

document.addeventlistener('click' function(e){    var signoff = document.getelementbyid('signout');    location = signoff.href;   }

this should click anchor tag whenever there click event not working.

some syntax corrections got working me:

document.addeventlistener('click', function(e) {    var signoff = document.getelementbyid('signout');    location = signoff.href; });
