jquery: store urls into an array and open them using .click(); function with next, previous, random controls

My Exlanation of what I am trying to do

  1. create an empty class in HTML like so:
    <div class="resources"></div>

  2. create an array of URLs in JAVASCRIPT/JQUERY and store them within .resources class

  3. create prev , random , next buttons in HTML

  4. random button when clicked opens random URL from array i.e.: $(array[random]).click();

  5. next button when clicked opens next URL from array i.e.: $(array[+1]).click();

  6. prev button when clicked opens previous URL from array i.e.: $(array[-1]).click();

MUSTS: urls must be opened with: click(); function: like so: $(array[0]).click();

fiddle to make it clearer: view http://jsfiddle.net/2my5mmno/

I'm not sure how it's going to work for you. What should happen when you click on next for example? Link to another page? Do you mean something like this?: example link
