Question

Hi I am using the following jquery to make a div cliackable (for page skin ads):

$url = "http://google.com";
$("#toLeft,#toRight").click(
    function()
        {
            window.location = $url;
            return false;
        });

I need to ensure that when a link is clicked, it is opened in another window. Typically, I use this snippet to make all outside links open in a new window, but it doesnt work with this (due to the jquery generated link):

$("a").filter(function() {
                return this.hostname && this.hostname !== location.hostname;
            }).attr('target', '_blank');

Any ideas how I can do this?

How about using window.open?
