如何使用jQuery / Javascript模拟单击在新标签页/窗口中打开的链接？

Question

I have a link that opens in a new tab with _blank:

<a href="new_page.html" target="_blank">link</a>

I'd like to be able to 'click' on this from Javascript. I know I could do document.location=... but the problem here is the new tab part. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can usually open a new window or tab using window.open . So instead of setting location , just call window.open and pass only the URL, nothing else.

Answer 2

$("#your_a").click(function(e) {
   e.preventDefault();
   window.open($(this).attr("href"), this.target);
}

You could use any name for target, preventDefault() if you want to override the link actions completely

Answer 3

If you really want to simulate click, you can give a id to the anchor tag and call jQuery click() on that element.

<a id="mylink" href="new_page.html" target="_blank">link</a>

and in script

$("#mylink").click()

Answer 4

to "simulate" the click you trigger the click event:

HTML:

<a href="new_page.html" target="_blank" id="mylink">click me</a>

jQuery:

$("#mylink").trigger("click");

-or-

$("#mylink").click();

Using 'trigger' allows you to pass in extra parameters if you bind a function to the click event. See the jQuery 'trigger' documentation for more info: http://api.jquery.com/trigger/
