Anyone know jQuery?
25 June 2009 at 9:01pm
I'm trying to get a link to open in a new window, I have the following jQuery so that the whole div is clickable.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".promoBox.anchor").click(function() {
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href");return false;
});$('.promoBox.anchor').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('boxHover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('boxHover');
});});
If I add "_blank" to the link in the HTML it does not open in a new window, I know this is a limitation. I can add a line in the jQuery to tell it to add an attribute to overcome this but this is not working with what I have above. If I use Firebug I can clearly see that the "_blank" is appended to the anchor though.
$(".external a").attr('target', '_blank').attr('title','This link will open in a new window.');
So with the code above I tried:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".external a").attr('target', '_blank').attr('title','This link will open in a new window.');
$(".promoBox.anchor").click(function() {
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href");return false;
});$('.promoBox.anchor').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('boxHover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('boxHover');
});});
My html div looks like this:
<div class="promoBox anchor external">
<div class="inner">
<h2>Advert Box</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.co.uk">Read more</a></p>
</div>
</div>And in Firebug:
<div class="promoBox anchor external">
<div class="inner">
<h2>Advert Box</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.co.uk" target="_blank" title="This link will open in a new window.">Read more</a></p>
</div>
</div>So can anyone help?

Try the following:
Instead of:window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href");return false;
Write:
$(this).find("a").trigger("click");

Just tried that, it works so long as you click on the actual anchor "Read more". If you click anywhere within the div nothing happens.

Hm yeah. This will only trigger events that are bound via jQuery and not the default click. You could try this instead:
window.open($(this).find('a').attr('href')); return false;

Almost there.. maybe?
I tried:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".promoBox.anchor").click(function() {
window.open($(this).find('a').attr('href')); return false;
});$('.promoBox.anchor').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('boxHover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('boxHover');
});});
This opens all links in a new window. I'd like to be able to either add in "_blank" or a class as not all links need to open in a new window.

Actually the code above will open the link in the new window and in the current window.

This function should consider the "target" attribute correctly:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".promoBox.anchor").click(function(evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
var a = $(this).find('a');
var tgt = a.attr('target');
window.open(a.attr('href'), (tgt == undefined ||Â tgt == '') ? '_self' : tgt);
return false;
});
$('.promoBox.anchor').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('boxHover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('boxHover');
});
}); -

I now have it working with the following code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".promoBox.anchor").click(function() {
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href");return false;
});$(".promoBox.anchorexternal").click(function() {
strUrl=$(this).find("a").attr("href");
window.open(strUrl);return false;
});$('.promoBox.anchor').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('boxHover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('boxHover');
});$('.promoBox.anchorexternal').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass('boxHover');
}, function() {
$(this).removeClass('boxHover');
});});
