Can you post a link to a WordPress page that shows the issue? One possible cause is that WordPress loads jQuery in no-conflict mode by default, so the $ shortcut isn’t available. You could get around that with a wrapper function:
( function( $ ) {
... the $ shortcut will be available here ...
} )( jQuery );
There’s a sample page here:
http://dnorwood.info/grover-beach-lower-priced-homes/
I did try it with $ and jQuery. You’re suggesting putting my function between the wrapper function? I’ll try that.
The problem is that you do not prevent default behaviour of <a> element. Try the code below:
$(document).ready(function($) {
$('.wolfnet_listingLink').addClass('popup');
$('.popup').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var NWin = window.open($(this).prop('href'), '', 'scrollbars=1,height=400,width=400');
if (window.focus)
{
NWin.focus();
}
return false;
});
});
Thanks – I would expect the function to override default behavior which it does in the fiddle I posted, but I tried it anyway and no change.
do you see any errors in the console?
Nope. In Chrome though I get:
popup.js:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
If I replace $ with jQuery I get:
jQuery is not defined.
Finally figured it out.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.wolfnet_listingLink').click(function() {
var NWin = window.open(jQuery(this).prop('href'), '', 'scrollbars=1,height=600,width=800');
if (window.focus)
{
NWin.focus();
}
return false;
});
});
I think the issue was I was not replacing the ‘$’ in “var NWin = window.open($(this).prop(‘href’), ”,” with ‘jQuery’. stephencottontail was on the right track with his answer.
Thanks for sticking with me!
Glad your sorted it out 😉
