How can I stay on my page when opening a new page using the _blank target attribute?

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

I'm programmatically adding target="_blank to many a links, and they work fine, except for one thing - when they are clicked, the browser makes that link the active one; I want the links to open, but to stay on the same page (the page on my site, not transfer to an external site). How can I do that?

Target won't do "pop behind". This will

$(function(){
$('a').click(function(){
open(this.href,'NewWin','toolbar=yes')
self.focus();
return false;
})
})

I put that at the end of my ready function, and it changed nothing. Thinking maybe it had to be added after my dynamically-adde content to apply to it, I then added it after one of those functions and tested it, but still no difference.

Try changing it to account for dynamically added links -

$('body').on('click', 'a', function(){
open(this.href,'NewWin','toolbar=yes')
self.focus();
return false;
});

Thanks, Jay; I'm leaving for work right now, but I'll try that tonight when I get home. Does it matter where this goes, or can I put it at the end of my ready function?

You can put it anywhere in your ready handler.

So I'm wondering if for another issue (I want to add a border around images and buttons when they are clicked to indicate that they have been already) I should change this code (which doesn't work):

$('img, button').click(function() {
$(this).css('border', '1px solid orange');
});

...to something like this:

$('body').on('click', 'img,button', function(){
this.css('border', '1px solid orange');
return false;
});

Returning false woud prevent the default behavior of the button. or your code for the image click. Don't return false.
