Masonry gallery image nofollow linking to new tab does not open in MS Edge

Hi,

I had a support query answered the other day at this link Masonry gallery image nofollow linking to new tab

Unfortunately I did not realise at the time that the code provided did not work in MS Edge? I had tested it in Chrome.

The code added to the functions.php file was:

function add_custom_target(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery(‘.av-masonry-container a ‘).attr(‘target’,’_blank’);
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘add_custom_target’);

I have tried clearing cache etc but still no resolve.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
John
