Wait, I'm confused...

 

What does .newWindow relate too?  The code you're using has jQuery
looking for A within .newWindow... Are you trying to find all the A tags
with a class of newwindow?  If so, the constructer would be
$("a.newWindow").  jQuery uses CSS syntax to target things, so if you're
unfamiliar with how to select an element with a class, I'd suggest doing
some googling on it or read the jQuery.com pages on Expressions.

 

Second, you've constructed the click() function wrong... you don't need
the var handle = bit... function () { window.open(this.href,
'some_target', 'width=550, height=550'); } is all you need.

Subject: [jQuery] I need syntax help, please.

 

This should be a quick one.

I know there's a way to do this, but it escapes me at this time.

I've got a few <a href...> tags on my screen, and I want some of them to
open in the same window and some to open in a pop up, sized
specifically.

Here's what I've got so far:

<script>
    $(document).ready(
    function (){$("a", ".newWindow").click(
        function(){
            // there's more than just width and height, but you get the
idea.
            var handle = window.open(this.href, 'some_target',
'width=550, height=500');
        });
    });
</script>


I've tried this same idea with the following changes:
   ... $("a", "#newWindow").click(...
and 
   ... $("a", newWindow).click(...
and
   ... $("#newWindow", "a").click(...
and
   ... $(".newWindow", "a").click(...
and
   etc., etc., etc.

Where am I going wrong. So far in my jQuery experience, I've only had
need to find elements by their class, element type, or ID. But not a
combination of those. Can someone please hit me with the correct syntax?
Hit me hard, so I don't forget it next time. :o)

Cheers,
Chris
