Magento Jquery - url open in new window

Hi,

In my top menu the are no of categories.

I added magento url rewrite for my blog .So when i click the category nccf it will take me to my external blog.

Currently it works fine, but i need them to open in new window instead open in same window

The html code below

<li class="level0 nav-4 level-top">
<a href="http://shop.testdomain.org/auction.html" class="level-top">
<span>Auction</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="level0 nav-5 last level-top">
<a href="http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html" class="level-top">
<span>NCCF</span>
</a>
</li>

Open in new window

I googled for it and find few answers but none works for me when i test using firebug.

Thanks

Gary

Add target="_blank" into the anchor tag.

I dont know how it was created.

Is it possible to have a jquery when an href is clicked make it open in new window ?

Thanks

Gary

Is it just this link?
http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html

In your footer somewhere add

<script>
$(function() {
     $('[href="http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html"]').prop("target","_blank")
})
</script>

Open in new window

Modified ur code and then tried the below no luck.

mst( document ).click(function() {
$('[href="http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html"]').prop("target","_blank")
});

Open in new window

Gary

Why have you changed it - that would fire everytime someone click the page - waste of time and resources.
Is mst your local jquery name?

mst(function() {
mst('[href="http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html"]').prop("target","_blank")
})

Gary,

What i have done is , write a rewrite in magento for http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html.

When i mouse hover the NCCF link it shows href as http://shop.testdomain.org/nccf.html

But when i click it , it loads in same page and took me to another website url.

I need the same now but in new window.

I will try your code and post back the result tomorrow.

Thanks
