I have tried target="_blank" and other ways so that below window opens in a new page instead of replacing the current page but its not working.
Can someone would be able to help me get this fixed?
This is the code I am using:
$("#yes").click(function() {
answer();
setTimeout(function() {
$.cookie("answered", "yes", {path:"/", expires:730});
window.location = "http://www.google.com", "_blank"
}, 2E3)
});
Loads a resource into either a new browsing context (such as a window) or one that already exists, depending on the specified parameters.
syntax:
var windowObjectReference = window.open(strUrl, strWindowName[, strWindowFeatures]);
You need to use window.open instead:
window.open('url', 'name', 'window settings')
Check this Online Demo and window open documentation
nameis optional. Specifies the target attribute or the name of the window. The following values are supported:
- _blank - URL is loaded into a new window. This is default
- _parent - URL is loaded into the parent frame
- _self - URL replaces the current page
- _top - URL replaces any framesets that may be loaded
or
name- The name of the windowwindow settings is optional.
window.open() is a method that you can pass a URL to that you want to open in a new window. For example:
window.open() example:
window.open('http://www.google.com'); //This will open Google in a new window
Additional Information:
window.open() can be passed additional parameters. See:window.open tutorial
$("#yes").click(function(){answer();setTimeout(function(){$.cookie("answered","yes", {path:"/",expires:730});window.open("http://www.google.com")},2E3)});
