Wikipedia Viewer: Window not opening on 'click' event for random article

1

Hi All!

In the wikipedia viewer exercise, new window won’t open when I click “View Random Wikipedia Article”.

Instead, it opens as soon as I hit run (something I don’t want it to do), but then never works when I click the button.

What am I doing wrong?

Here is a link to my codepen: https://codepen.io/yjaved/pen/EvjQRK

Cheers,
Yosef

You can do this

$(document).ready(function () {
  $("#randomBtn").click(function(){window.open('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random')})
 });

or just a plain a href

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random" target="_blank">Random Stuff</a>
