[textile] target= _blank

mttw · 2007-08-04 12:12:18

is it possible to use “target= _blank” with textile?

It seems that not :( I think there are plugins that have such functionality

mttw · 2007-08-04 14:24:28

unfortunately I can’t find any plugin…. is there somebody who did?

Try to look for wet_link

Or use zem_prblock.

Force-opening new windows for non-technical (by technical I mean stuff like the textile help popup) is not a good practice. Nevertheless, you can insert a class like “newwin” and then use JavaScript to insert new window functions. (The target attribute has been deprecated in strict XHTML versions; it should only be used for frames… and when was the last time any of us saw one?)

This works

I really wish it was in the Textile core, pleeeaassseee!!!

It’s the only solution I’ve found that would enable me to run smd_slimbox and have links that open externally, in the same article.

wet_link worked, but I really like the Textile link syntax; and zem_prblock would only allow one “REL” attribute in a page.

i tried using this technique but it didnt seem to work. maybe it will work on all future articles i write with textile? but i cant seem to get it to apply to one i just wrote today.

You can also use raw HTML, seems to be the easiest way to me:

“==<a href=http://panopticlick.eff.org target=”_blank”>EFF’s Panopticlick</a>==”

(remove the “” )

Edit: Does not work with “” around the url after href=

Hope not! The target attribute is deprecated. It was introduced for navigating in frames and frameset and using in non-frameset sites are a misuse.

But if you want really force a new browser window I recommend a jQuery or other Javascript solution with target.

In the <head>:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<txp:site_url />textpattern/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$('.external').attr('target', '_blank');
	});
/* ]]> */
</script>

The only thing you have to do is gving the link the class »external«

Textile:

"(external) link to example.com":http://example.com/

Have another look at what I linked to, Tommy – it doesn’t use “Target”, it uses the “Rel” attribute.

That said, your solution looks very neat and straightforward – can we have that in the core instead?

;0)

Incidentally, I wrote the post above 2 1/2 years ago – I think it’s safe to assume that the solution I linked to ain’t going into the core..!

Oh…
I’ve totally overseen this, sorry Keith! :(

Using the rel attribute is a much better option, than creating a deprecated target attribute with javascript.
