href =“ javascript：”在新标签页中打开

Question

I am working on a website where the developer used href="javascript" for the links. I need the links to open in a new tab when the user clicks on them but when I make the target equal to _blank or the base equal to _blank a new tab opens but nothing is on the page. The links themselves go to an external site.

Can someone explain to me why this is and how I could possibly get the links working properly?

Example of one of the links:

<a href="javascript:SubmitPurchaseLink('Ticks1545037499', '%7eYn%7eJva2%7eVya%7eW%7eQ9%7eM%7eTc2%7eM%7eS%7eZza%7eX%7eRlbn%7eVt%7eYm%7eVy%7eP%7eT%7eE4%7eJn%7eRna%7eW%7eQ9%7eM%7eT%7eU0%7eN%7eT%7eAz%7eNz%7eQ5%7eO%7eS%7eZldn%7eRp%7eZ%7eD0y%7eN%7eD%7eIy%7eMz%7eA4%7eJn%7eBya%7eW%7eNl%7eP%7eT%7eEy%7eN%7eS4w%7eM%7eD%7eAw%7eJm%7eN1cn%7eJlbm%7eN5a%7eW%7eQ9%7eM%7eQ..!%7eB2pn%7eE%7eJ%7eIv%7eSts.')">

Answer 1

You need to modify the SubmitPurchaseLink function and within that function need to open target URL to a new tab.

function SubmitPurchaseLink() {
  // your code

  // code to open URL to a new window
  window.open(url, '_blank');   
}
