JavaScript stopped working after applying “group by” in list view

Question

Hi Everyone,

I have a script to open links in a new window that works fine on all document library views except on the view that has a group by, not sure what I need to do to make it work, this is SharePoint 2013 the script below:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {

            $(".ms-listviewtable tr td a").attr("target", "_blank");

    });
</script>

Thanks.

Hi @Omar Tabasi ,

In list view applying "group by", the html of the link is hidden and not loaded. As a workaround, you could change your js code to the below in the group by view:

 $(document).ready(function () {  
         
         setInterval(function(){$(".ms-listviewtable tr td a").attr("target", "_blank");},1000);  
         
 });
