eh, open links in new window (target="blank")

Well, this is a bit akward, but i can’t find any way of making links open up in new windows (that is, adding target=“blank” to a <a> tag).
Of course i don’t want all links to open in new windows, that would destroy the internal navigation (obviously), but I have a page with lists of links from the “links” in textpattern. I want those to open in new windows. Then i would like links that I put into the text of an article (with * and : that is) to open in new windows..

Hey,

Make a link form which looks something like this:

<a href="<txp:link_url />" target="_blank"><txp:link_name escape="html" /></a>

Just remember that target is not valid XHTML.

Re: eh, open links in new window (target="blank")

In the head section of your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/textpattern/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function(){
		$('a.external').click(function() {
			window.open(this.href);
			return false;
		}
		);
	});
</script>

In your link form something like this:

<a class="external" href="<txp:link_url />"><txp:link_name escape="html" /></a>

You could always give adi_link a go.
