I have some links that are placed in my page dynamically via JSON and have no way to directly edit them. I want to force all links to open in new tabs, ala target="_blank" Thought this would work.. but sadly it isn't. Any ideas? $('a').attr("target","_blank"); Here's a jsFiddle with the dynamic code: http://jsfiddle.net/danielredwood/mrgta/7/ You could do this (which lets the users browser decide whether to open a new window or tab) $('a').live('click', function() { window.open($(this).attr('href')); return false; }); Your problem might be one of timing.
