How do I automatically create a new window, blog stylee?

Er. That didn't work. <base target="main">

If you put this in the bottom of your html, right before the end of the body tag, this'll do the job. You can also modify it slightly and add a bit of logic to get a bit more control over what, exactly, becomes an external link.<script>var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for (var i = 0; i { links[i].target = 'ext' + i; }</script>>

err... there's a weird br> in there. (Stupid previewer... you have failed me!) Let's just try it this way: var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for (var i = 0; i { links[i].target = 'ext' + i; }>

Ugh. Please don't make my browser do what you want. If I want a link in a new window, I'm perfectly capable of doing that myself. Your site's look and feel is your domain; my browser is my domain.

beaucoupkevin & ph00dz - I tried both of your techniques that you kindly suggested, but both times Blogger throws up an error when I try to preview. Mikey-San - I don't really see how your response answers my question.

I agree with Mikey-san. It's about web browsing philosophy, but it's important. Whether a link opens in a new window should be up to the person viewing the page, not the page's author. If I want a link to open in a new window, I'll use the contextual menu (I think it's a right-click if you're a windoid). If you force my browser to open a new window when I click a link, I can pretty much guarantee that your site will disappear from my bookmarks forever. Are you afraid that people won't hit the back button after you've vectored them to some new site? The answer is to make your content compelling enough that they will come back or choose to use the contextual menu (as I do) to preserve the originating page.

I didn't ask "Is it a good idea for $this to happen?". I asked how I could make it happen. If I had wanted to discuss whether it was a good idea or not, that would have been my question. Since it wasn't, I'd appreciate it if those responding actually read the original question, and responded to it, rather than the moral issues surrounding it.

Mikey-San - I don't really see how your response answers my question. No offense, but I don't really see how your question is the best idea in the first place. Sometimes the real solutions are to the questions we should've asked, but didn't. In your case, the best answer is not to do what you're attempting to implement.

No offense, but I don't really see how your question is the best idea in the first place. I didn't ask if it was a good idea. I asked how it was done. Pretty clearly too, I think. An response that doesn't answer the question is worse than useless.
