redirecting script problem

ehm
Hi all
i was using a code to redirect post links in a good way actually
like
u'll be redirected to the link in 5 secs and here's the code
and here's the java code for it

Code:

$(function () {
  $(".post-entry a").not("a[href$='.jpg'],a[href$='.jpeg'],a[href$='.png'],a[href$='.gif'],a[href$='.bmp'],a[href^='/'],a[href^='" + location.origin + "']").click(function (a) {
      a.preventDefault();
      a = location.href;
      var b = this.href;
      z = "/redirect/?url=" + encodeURIComponent(b);
      window.history && history.pushState ? history.pushState({}, "Redirecting...", z) : location.hash = z;
      var d, c = 5;
      $("#main-content").html('<div id="redirects"><h3>Redirecting...</h3><p class="redirectMess">You are preparing to leave <strong>' +
        document.title + '</strong>and move to the path: <strong><a href="' + b + '" rel="nofollow">' + b + '</a></strong>within <strong><span class="delayTime">' + c + '</span></strong>more seconds ... You want to make sure that this path is not?</p><div class="redirectFooter"><ul class="redirectButtons"><li><a class="cancel" href="' + a + '">back</a></li><li><a href="' + b + '" class="redirectSkip forward" rel="nofollow">continue (<span class="delayTime">' +
        c + "</span>)</a></li></ul></div></div>");
      d = setInterval(function () {
        var a = c--;
        0 > a ? window.location = b : $(".delayTime").text(a)
      }, 1E3);
      $(".redirectButtons a").click(function () {
        clearInterval(d)
      })
  })
});

so the problem is
the code opens the post link in the same page
i was wondering if there's anyways to make it opens in a new window ?

Hi

Try replacing

Code: window.location = b : $(".delayTime").text(a)

with

Code: window.open(b : $(".delayTime").text(a));

. If that doesn't work, you can make a redirect anchor with target="_blank" and force click it with javascript. Here is an example:

Code:

var a = $('<a href="http://help.forumotion.com/u94304" target="_blank" />')[0];
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
document.body.removeChild(a);

awrighty
the first method did opened it in a new window
but the direction thingy didn't appear actually
here's the things
this code suppose to have this redirection page if someone clicked on the external links


and it's opening in the same page
and when i tried ur method #1
it opened in a new window but that redirecting page didn't appear
so about your method #2
i actually didn't frankly get it
0.0
can u please clarify it a little ?
thanks in advance

oooo I'm sorry, I misread your script! It should have been

Code: 0 > a ? window.open(b) : $(".delayTime").text(a)

.

The second method creates a link and clicks it. It works about the same as window.open.

tried it
still opens in the same window o.o

How about this?

Code:

$(function () {
  $(".post-entry a").not("a[href$='.jpg'],a[href$='.jpeg'],a[href$='.png'],a[href$='.gif'],a[href$='.bmp'],a[href^='/'],a[href^='" + location.origin + "']").click(function (a) {
      a.preventDefault();
      a = location.href;
      var b = this.href;
      z = "/redirect/?url=" + encodeURIComponent(b);
      window.history && history.pushState ? history.pushState({}, "Redirecting...", z) : location.hash = z;
      var d, c = 5;
      $("#main-content").html('<div id="redirects"><h3>Redirecting...</h3><p class="redirectMess">You are preparing to leave <strong>' +
        document.title + '</strong>and move to the path: <strong><a href="' + b + '" rel="nofollow">' + b + '</a></strong>within <strong><span class="delayTime">' + c + '</span></strong>more seconds ... You want to make sure that this path is not?</p><div class="redirectFooter"><ul class="redirectButtons"><li><a class="cancel" href="' + a + '">back</a></li><li><a href="' + b + '" class="redirectSkip forward" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">continue (<span class="delayTime">' +
        c + "</span>)</a></li></ul></div></div>");
      d = setInterval(function () {
        var a = c--;
        0 > a ? $('.redirectSkip')[0].click() : $(".delayTime").text(a)
      }, 1E3);
      $(".redirectButtons a").click(function () {
        clearInterval(d)
      })
  })
});

I changed it so that it clicks the skip button instead, since it goes to the same link. (I just added target="_blank" so it opens a new tab)

i've tried this too bro
but still opens in the same page

It opens in a new tab for me but you have to allow popups.. I can't think of anything else. These are all the things that open in new windows that I can find:

window.open - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open
target (attr for anchor) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-target

For what you are doing, I think it would probably be best if the user chose to continue or go back instead of being redirected automatically.

okay bro
thanks alot for helping out
^_^
i decided to abandon the whole code
thanks again
