title: jQuery function to open link in new window
body: <p>I'm trying to find a plugin or simple script to open a file in a popup window by clicking on a button. This used to work, but with all the jQuery updates (even with the migration file), this no longer works.</p>
  
  <p>I found this, but this opens the popup and also redirects to the file url: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.popup').click(function(event) {
      window.open($(this).attr("href"), "popupWindow", "width=600,height=600,scrollbars=yes");
   });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any way to get a simple popup? It needs to have scrollbars, preferably resizable. I've seen lots of posts for modal boxes, but that does not accomplish what I need. The popup box has it's own design and there is more content than would be suitable for a modal.</p>
  
  <p>I also want to avoid adding any extra markup. It makes the most sense to just add a class, like the example above.</p>
