How to open new tab using data-href

html, javascript, jquery

Solution

could be done like this:

jQuery: JSFiddle 1

$('.table-row').each(function() {
  var $th = $(this);
  $th.on('click', function() {
    window.open($th.attr('data-href'), $th.attr('data-target'));
  });
});

Pure JS: JSFiddle 2

var tableRows = document.getElementsByClassName('table-row');

for (var i = 0, ln = tableRows.length; i < ln; i++) {
  tableRows[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
    window.open(this.getAttribute('data-href'), this.getAttribute('data-target'));
  });
}

Problem

I am making a table row clickable but once clicked I want to open a new tab. I tried using `data-target` but that didn't work. ``` <tr class="table-row" data-href="mypage.php" data-target="_blank"></tr> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function ($) { $(".table-row").click(function () { window.document.location = $(this).data("href"); }); }); </script> ```
