Check HREF

in Using jQuery • 11 years ago

Hello,

I have the following applied to Anchors:

$('a').click(function () {
this.target = "_blank";
});

I would like to apply it to anchors which href does NOT contain "mydomain" and if possible case insensitive.

How can I do this?

Thank You,
Miguel

You can use the following to check for specific value within the href of the a elements:

$("a[href*=mydomain]").click(function () {
this.target = "_blank";
});

This is not case insensitive though, I'm not sure that there is an easier way to do this other than parsing out the href, casing it and then comparing it. Sort of like this:

$("a").click(function() {
var theHREF = $(this).attr("href").toUpperCase();
if (theHREF.indexOf("MYDOMAIN") > -1) {
this.target = "_blank";
}
});

Hope that helps

I think I am going for this:

$("a[href*=mydomain]").click(function () {
this.target = "_blank";
});

But I need the opposite behavior. I mean:
use Blank for the anchors which does NOT contain mydomain.

How can I do this?

Thank You,
Miguel

I got it:

$("a:not([href*=mydomain])").click(function () {
this.target = "_blank";
});

Thank You,
Miguel
