How can I open a link in a new window?

Question

I have a click handler for a specific link, inside that I want to do something similar to the following:

window.location = url 

I need this to actually open the url in a new window though, how do I do this?

Answer 1

You can like:

window.open('url', 'window name', 'window settings') 

jQuery:

$('a#link_id').click(function(){   window.open('url', 'window name', 'window settings');   return false; }); 

You could also set the target to _blank actually.
