Rails link_to 和 onClick with target=_blank 不能一起工作

Question

I believe this should have quite an easy solution but I am not used to work with JavaScript.

I wanted to add the event handler to Google Analytics and did so by using their suggestion code:

<script>
var trackOutboundLink = function(url) {
   ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, {'hitCallback':
     function () {
     document.location = url;
     }
   });
}
</script>   

with each link link this:

<a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onClick="trackOutboundLink('http://www.example.com'); return false;">Example.com</a>

This works fine, Analytics-wise, but I have lost the possibility to open the link in a new window. I assume the JavaScript overrides that in some way, so I how do I make sure I can still use HTML options like target=_blank together with the onClick ? I really rather not want to handle opening new windows in JavaScript.

Answer 1

Please try to use window.open()

<script>
  var trackOutboundLink = function(url) {
    ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, {'hitCallback':
     function () {
         window.open(url);
      }
      });
    }
</script>
