I am trying to load a web page in a new window on class="link" Below is what I have but it does not seem to work in IE 7-8 

```
    $('.clicky').mousedown(function(){
        window.open("http://google.com");
    });​

```

Here is the complete context <http://jsfiddle.net/Zw5c2/14/>

Foolish me it was my pop up blocker. But I modified the script to open in the same window

```
        $('.link').mousedown(function() {
            window.location="http://google.com";
        });​

```
