I am installing href mailto from jQuery, but I do not know how to set the target _blank

Question

I have a hyperlink on my web page:

<a id="contact" href="#">contact</a>

And then in jQuery I have:

$("#contact").click(function() {
    document.location.href = "mailto:[e-mail]";
});

When a user clicks on a link, it opens in the same window, how can I open mail in another window? I tried adding target="_blank"in <a.., but then the contact form opened in the same window and my web page opened in another window ... How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Use window.openinsteaddocument.location.href

  $("#contact").click(function() {
    win = window.open('mailto:[e-mail]', '_blank');
    if (win) {
        //Browser has allowed it to be opened
        win.focus();
    } else {
        //Browser has blocked it
        alert('Please allow popups for this website');
    }
});
