<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a class="add" href="https:someurl" class="imgcenter">
    <img class="add" src="ad_v2.jpg"/>

Try window.location= instead.

window.location = "https://someurl.com"

did you try to debug your code? do you invoke function by click? – Pe4eN Apr 10 '18 at 06:16
yes I tried testing it by clicking the image in the app – SONGSTER Apr 10 '18 at 06:17

window.navigate is not supported by most browsers. Have a look here.

You should use window.location or window.location.replace() according to your needs. You can find a good explanation here.

Use window.location = "http://...";. I've been coding cross-browser JavaScript for a few years, and I've never experienced problems using this approach.

window.navigate and window.location.href seems a bit odd to me.

P.S : .navigate() only works in IE.

window.navigate is NOT supported cross browsers, you can try location.href or window.location.href

<a class="add" href="javascript: void(0)" class="imgcenter"><img src="ad_v2.jpg"/></a>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function (){
  $(".add").click(function(e){
      e.preventDefault(); // Prevent multiple redirection
      location.href = "https://example.com/";
  });
});
</script>
