Opening link in new window.

deepdiver01 · 27-Apr-2007, 06:37 PM #1

Hi all.

Just a quick on.

I would like the links on a page to open in a new window.

Is there a bit of code I can add to the page that will allow this for all the links on that page without having to add target="_blank" to each anchor?

Thanks.

Deep.

Cheers for that harmour. Know that one.

I was wondering if the was a bit of code that could be put in the page that did away with having to add target="_blank" to every <a> tag. Got a page with about 150 links and it and they will change from time to time.

Just trying to save a bit of time.

I don't remember seeing that in his post.
The only way I can think of is with javascript.

Hey mate,

You may have solved this yourself by now, but if not there is a really easy way to do this.

In the <head> of your page, you can use the little known about <base> tag. Now although this is normally used to provide a base URL for links, you can also use it to specify the target. The code you'd want to stick in the <head> would be:

<base target="_blank">

Easy! No hassles, no changing each individual link, no JS

Hey jaymason.

Thank you, oh thank you.

I was putting it in all the anchor links, using a bit of a code template. Not so nasty but still time consuming and giving too much code in the html.

Didi not realise you could use <base> that way.

Thanks again.

Deep
