Just assign a new value to the location property.

location = "new url"

var url = 'EmployeeTraining.aspx?searchkey=' + $([id$='txtSearchVotes']").val(); location = url

We have no way of telling how your case is different.

@Quentin whats the differnce between location and locaiton.href

@bhb — For the purposes of this question, nothing. See MDN for a more in depth explanation.
