I working on a webpage.where i have number of links on the menu.When i clicked on the menu link it opens the page in a new tab. My requirement is that i have to prevent the new tab when i click on the link second time.
- When i clicked on the link first time it opens the page URL in new tab.
- When i clicked on the link second time it prevent the new tab ,if that URL is already open in the tab.
- If the URL is not open on the browser tab it opens the new tab.
- It the URL is open in new tab it will redirect it to already opened tab.
It should work without any external library with the basic java script.
<html>
<body>
<a id="aaa" href="https://stackoverflow.com" target="_blank">Visit stackoverflow.com</a>
</body>
<script>
var links = document.getElementsById("aaa");
alert(links);
for(var i=0; i < links.length; i++){
links[i].setAttribute("data-href", links[i].getAttribute("href"));
links[i].removeAttribute("href");
links[i].onclick = function(){
window.location = this.getAttribute("data-href");
};
}
