Opening Hyperlinks inside Excel WebAccess webpart in the Same Window

Question

I was trying to access Excel Web parts hyperlink like below, but this solution is not working for me.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".ewr-sheetcontainer a").each(function(){
$(this).attr("onclick","openLink(this)");
function openLink(Atagproperties)
Atagproperties.target = "_self";
Problem is .ewr-sheetcontainer has role="Presentation" atttribute,
which says it will delete the contents from accessible tree. 
Is this the reason it is not working for me? or Am I missing anything?
Appreciate your help on this. Thanks, Maddy

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set the hyperlink in Excel Access Web Part opening in the same window.
As the excel access web part is dynamic loading after the page load, so when the page has loaded, the excel web part element has not been loaded completely.
I suggest you can use setInterval method to run function circularly until the excel access web part has loaded in the page.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $a;
var interval;
$(document).ready(function(){
interval = setInterval(ready, 1000);
function ready()
$a = $('div.cv-nwl a');
if($a.html()!=null)
$a.attr('target','_self');
clearInterval(interval);
</script>
Thanks
