How do I add target=”_blank” or ”_blank” to attr() code in jquery?

Question

Here is code from Javascript.

pageElement.append($('<h2>').append($('<a>').attr('href', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' + page.title).text(page.title)));

This code will not open in a new window. I want to open it in a new window. What do I need to add to Javascript?

Well, the same way as you're setting the attr href

$(link_element).attr('target', '_blank');

As Patrick mentioned:

attr() an object of name-value pairs,

.attr({target:'',href:''}) instead of doing multiple calls

You can also pass [`attr()` an object of name-value pairs](http://api.jquery.com/attr/#attr-attributes), ie `.attr({target:'',href:''})` instead of doing multiple calls – Patrick Evans Mar 11 '18 at 18:26
It is not working. It does not open in a new window. – Sonia Mar 11 '18 at 19:46
success: function (json) { var pages = json.query.pages; $.map(pages, function (page) { var pageElement = $('
'); pageElement.append($('
').append($('').attr('href', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' + page.title).text(page.title))); pageElement.append($('
').text(page.extract)); pageElement.append($('
')); articles.append(pageElement); }); } }); };

pageElement.append($('
').append($('').attr({target:'', href:'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' + page.title).text(page.title)}); is not working
