Hi, I am very new to jQuery. I have a page on my site with 10 anchor tags alongside an iframe which is embedded for PDF view. How can I load the anchor tags with respective URL's dynamically using Jquery. I have the URL list in xml file.

XML

<a class="ShowPDF1" href="URL to the PDF location" target="pdfframe"></a>

<iframe id="pdfframeID" name="pdfframe" height="650" width="900" frameborder="1"></iframe>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Solution 1

Assign and id to your anchor.

HTML

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

Then you can try to get the element

JavaScript

var anchorHref = $(this).attr('href');
//in your case it might the iframe. So you may need to adapt it or get it with jquery as well
window.open(url, '_blank');
