Using jQuery to target a specific link in the navigation

Question

I am working with a dynamic navigation and need to be able to target one specific link to open in a new window.

I need some help with the jQuery to do this.

For example I would like to be able to target the navigation item of Education which has a link of http://www.foo.com/education and have it open in new window when I click on it.

Would appreciate some assistance.

Thanks.

Answer 1

try:

$("a[href='http://www.foo.com/education']").attr('target', '_blank');

Answer 2

window.open( $("a[href='example.com']").attr('href') );

Answer 3

or just

<a href="http://www.food.com/education" class="education" target="_blank">Education</a>

don't know why you would need to do this with jQuery.
