Hello guys, today I want to show you how you can open up multiple links using a single click.
The method behind this trick is to put multiple links on single hyperlink.
This is the normal link would look like.
<a href=”YOUR-LINK” alt=”_blank”>YOUR ANCHOR TEXT</a>
Let say you want to open two links when a visitor clicks a link, what you have to do is modify above code and add this code
onclick=”window.open("YOUR-2nd-LINK");”
just before first closing bracket “>” symbol.
And the new code would be like this
<a href=”YOUR-LINK” onclick=”window.open("YOUR-2nd-LINK");” >YOUR ANCHOR TEXT</a>
But I use another approach and use below code instead to open two links. Using above approach, I can’t figure out how to open the first link in new tab as I already added alt=”blank” to the code. But the below approach does work.
<a target=”_blank” onclick=”window.open("YOUR-LINK"); window.open("YOUR-2nd-LINK");” >YOUR ANCHOR TEXT</a>
Here a demo, Click to open two links in new tabs.
To open three links it would be like this
<a target=”_blank” onclick=”window.open("YOUR-LINK"); window.open("YOUR-2nd-LINK"); window.open("YOUR-3nd-LINK");” >YOUR ANCHOR TEXT</a>
Click to open two links in new tabs.
And if you want add more link, press spacebar once before ” >YOUR ANCHOR TEXT</a> and insert window.open("YOUR-NEW-LINK");.
Hope this will be helpful.
And before I end this post, you should consider what for actually you apply this trick and what your readers would think of this method. I personally would feel weird if a site that I visit opens up multiple tabs when I click on a link.
Update: I changed the code a bit because it did not work anymore. Previously there was href=”#” in the code, however, if I add it now, my browser (Firefox) will open three tabs for the link with two sites which the third is this post you are reading. I think it is due to browser compatibility with the code and I don’t think it is because of blogging platform that I use. Previously I used Blogger and Now WordPress. Without the href, the mouse cursor won’t change into hand when hovered on the hyperlink but it does work, at least for me, for now.
