adding target property to this JS code

Question

I want to edit this code:

this.link = $('<a>Directions</a>').addClass('mapplic-tooltip-link').attr('href', '#').hide().appendTo(this.el);

to open in a new window. I've looked online but I don't know how to edit this. Any help would be much appreaciated.

Answer 1

try this

this.link = $('<a>Directions</a>')
            .addClass('mapplic-tooltip-link')
            .attr('href', '#')
            .attr('target', '_blank').hide().appendTo(this.el);

just add another property attr to your link with the target key and blank value.
