I'm trying to learn jQuery by implementing a simple menu. I've got <div> elements that act as buttons and have links in them. I'm trying to add onclick events to the divs that navigate the browser to the link's address in the div. This is basically my pseudo-code. What would the real code be? How can I improve this? Any feedback appreciated!

// Iterate over each menu button

$('.masterHeaderMenuButton').each(function () {

    // Get the link in each button and set the button's onclick to 
    // redirect to the link's address

    var url = $('a', this).attr('href');

    this.click(function () {
        window.location.href = url;
    });

    // If the user is on the page for the current button, hilight it

    if (window.location.href === url) {
        $('a', this).addClass("masterHeaderMenuButtonSelected");
    }
});
