What's the best way to make a popup link in my situation?

Question

I'm attempting to use Angular to open a popup window in my situation.

Here's what I've got:

<a ng-href = "window.open('{{videoLink}}')" >open a video</a>

When I try this, I get a 'Not found' error in the browser.

However, it does open the video, but in another tab in the browser.

<a ng-href = {{videoLink}}>open a video</a>

How can I successfully open my video in a popup?

Thank you!

Answer №1

Remember to implement ng-click as you did in your previous inquiry.

The issue before was that ng-click requires an AngularJS expression. More details can be found at: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/expression

"For more complex JavaScript operations, create a controller method and invoke it from your view."

To solve this, define a function within the controller's $scope for the element and call it using ng-click="clickHandler()".

If this solution doesn't work, consider sharing additional code (preferably through JSFiddle or a similar platform).
