Question

I am opening a link in a new window using jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a[href="/education/global-health-courses"]').attr("target", "_blank");    
});
</script>

I would like to set the size of the new window to 800px wide by 700px tall. I just need a little help adding those attributes to the existing code.

Thanks.

You can’t set those attributes using the target="_blank" method, you have to use the window.open method:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a[href="/education/global-health-courses"]').click(function() {
        window.open($(this).attr('href'),'title', 'width=800, height=700');
        return false;
    });   
});
