javascript/jquery to change location.href

Question

This is my HTML

        <form id="procurar-novo">
          <input type="text" name="procurar" placeholder="Pesquisar no Site" value="">
          <input id="procurar-submit" type="button" value="&rsaquo;">
        </form>

And this is my jQuery

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#procurar').submit(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      //edited
      window.open = ('http://www.psicotropicus.org/'+'/busca'+encodeURIComponent($('#procurar-submit').val()), '_blank');
      return false;
    });
  });
</script>

The ideai is that by clicking on submit, the javascript/jquery will get the #procurar-submit value and add it on the URL and redirect the user.

The _blank still not works

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use window.open with second parameter _blank

window.open('url', '_blank');

Try this also:

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#procurar').submit(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      //edited
      window.open = ('http://www.psicotropicus.org/'+'/busca'+encodeURIComponent($('#procurar-submit').val()), '_blank');
      return false;
    });
  });
</script>

Last edit:

<script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('form#procurar-novo').submit(function(e) {
      //e.preventDefault();
      //edited
      var url = 'http://www.psicotropicus.org'+'/busca'+ encodeURIComponent('&' + $('input[name=procurar]').val());
       window.open(url, '_blank');
      return false;
    });
  });
</script>

<form id="procurar-novo">
          <input type="text" name="procurar" placeholder="Pesquisar no Site" value="">
          <input id="submitsss" type="submit" value="&rsaquo;">
</form>

Please consider names and ids of the form elements :)
