jQuery go to URL with target blank

Question

I am using this bit of jQuery code to get href of the link   var url     this  attr  href      -- and this bit of code to go to that href   window location   url    Everything is just the way I want it  except the new page opens in the same window as the previous one  and I want it to open in a new window or tab  something that in plain html would have been achieved by using target   blank  formula     Question  How can I open the href in the new window or tab with jQuery   Thank you for your help

If you want to create the popup window through jQuery then you'll need to use a plugin. This one seems like it will do what you want:

Alternately, you can always use JavaScript's window.open function.

Note that with either approach, the new window must be opened in response to user input/action (so for instance, a click on a link or button). Otherwise the browser's popup blocker will just block the popup.

Use   var url     this  attr  href    window open url    blank      Update the href is better off being retrieved with prop since it will return the full url and it s slightly faster   var url     this  prop  href
