Question

Just a heads up, I understand why there would be rules against allowing this to function as it would be assumed to, due to the ramifications of someone opening a ton of spam pop-up windows, however, I’m wondering if it is at all possible to make it work.

Here’s my code;

$(document).ready( function() {
    ("a.explode").load( 
    function() { var url = $(this).attr("href"); 
    window.open(url); }
    );                      
});

and

<a class="explode" href="http://www.google.com">Link1</a>
<a class="explode" href="http://www.yahoo.com">Link2</a>
<a class="explode" href="http://www.tumblr.com">Link3</a>

For those who don’t understand what I’m trying to do, on page load, several windows are opened, using the href="" attribute of <a class="explode">.

POST EXPERIMENTATION EDIT: After working through this with a lovely member of SO, we figured out that this is not worth implementing/impossible (due to pop-up blockers most browsers natively have). window.open() must be bound to a .click() event, in effect making the concept useless.

Answer 1

You are missing $ in the code while selecting anchors. Use each block and href property of anchor like this

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("a.explode").each(function() {  
      window.open(this.href); 
    });
});
