HTML open URL from a href data attribute

Question

I'm learning HTML. I've following code piece:

<a href="#B" id="specialClass" class="primary-btn icon-cart" data-one="#A" data-five="google.com" data-ten="#C" target="_blank">
    <span id="pressButton">New Button</span>
</a>

When I press button based on slider and data-five gets triggered, I for some reason open in a new tab mywebsite.com/google.com instead of google.com.

What am I doing wrong?

Please also include whatever JS is handling your data attributes. As is, the link should send you to mywebsite.com#B. — D M

If it is an address outside your web page you have to put the full path with https://google.es <a target="_blank" href="https://google.es">Google</a>
