Forcing Links in a Specific Div to Open in A New Tab/Window

Vernon DaCosta November 9, 2019

Hi Community.

Hoping that y'all can help me with this little mystery.

I'm aware of the method used to force ALL links on a page to open in a new tab/window:

  • Add an HTML macro to the page and include the following code snippet:
    • <script>
      jQuery(document).ready(function() {
      jQuery(".wiki-content a").attr("target", "_blank");
      });
      </script>

However, what I'm trying to do is to have ONLY those links in a specific div open in a new tab/window while all of the other links on the page will still open in the same tab/window.

I've attempted changing the selectors to a number of ancestor elements in the hope of only applying the code to those specific anchors (descendants) but nothing seems to be working. And reapplying the original code snippet above forces ALL links to open in new tabs (just to check that nothing else was broken).

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
