Redirecting Link with jQuery. Please Help !

Hi,

I'm not good at coding so any help will be appreciated.

I want to change the default SEARCH link to external one and I have done this successfully with this code below but the problem is I don't know how to force it to open in a new tab. I have tried adding the target= "_blank" to the code but as I already said I'm not good at this so no luck, I don't know how to do this...

<script>
  
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('a[href="/search"]').attr('href','https://www.google.com/');
	});
  
</script>

So I need help with this code above, code is 100% working I only want to open the https://www.google.com/ in the new tab...

Thanks

same thing you need to do via jquery. Add target attr like you add the href.
 

 $('a[href="/search"]').attr("target", "_blank");

Hi,

I understand that but please check my code above, I want to open "www.google.com" instead of "/search" but in a new tab.

With your code it will open "/search" in a new tab and not "google.com" in a new tab...

<script>
  
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('a[href="/search"]').attr('href','https://www.google.com/').attr("target", "_blank");
    });
  
</script>

I don't know is this good to do this this way but it works...? I have added :

.attr("target", "_blank");

to my code and now it opens google.com instead of /search in a new tab...

try this

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() { 
    $('a[href="/search"]').attr('href','https://www.google.com/');
    $('a[href="/search"]').attr('target','_blank');
	});
</script>
