Opening attachments on list form in new tab

Answered

Hi everyone

 

I have a list form where users can add attachments.  When they open the display form that has attachments on there, clicking the attachment opens it in the same window as the form.  I wondered how I can get the attachments to open in a new tab or window instead.  I've tried adding the following to my form but it doesn't seem to be working:

 

$(document).ready(function(){

$("table#idAttachmentsTable a").click(function () {

var url=$(this).attr('href');

window.open(url, '_blank');

});

});

 

Does anyone have any advice on what I'm doing wrong, or another way of achieving this?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi Gareth Jayne,

  on those attachment links there are two attributes (onmousedown & onclick) which prevent the target="_blank".

  You can use an execute script form load actions to remove them and add the target like this:

   

  ArdeviaJQuery('#idAttachmentsTable a').each(function () {
   ArdeviaJQuery(this).attr('target','_blank');
   ArdeviaJQuery(this).removeAttr("onmousedown");
   ArdeviaJQuery(this).removeAttr("onclick");
  });
