Hi,

Tried the 2nd option, not successful. What is the Tabs Table? My SQL Editor only browses my computer for a file…

i vactually made a mistake in that code. in DNN 6 it uses the popups, so you need to avoid the javascript as well… so this works:

$(function () { $(‘a:not([href=""]), a:not([href="javascript"])’).each(function () { if (this.hostname !== location.hostname) { $(this).attr(‘target’, “_blank”); } }); });

hey, if you are like our organization, we have many users who are not going to type that in each time they have to open a link in a new window… they will either forget, type it wrong, etc as they are not techy. For those who want a pretty easy way to do this and have access to your DNN installation… then open up the skin you are usoing … and at the bottom put this block of code:

$(function () { $(‘a:not([href=""])’).each(function () { if (this.hostname !== location.hostname) { $(this).addClass(‘externalLink’).attr(‘target’, “_blank”); } }); });

what this does is any EXTERNAL link it will add the target=”_blank” into any links on your page … and as well a class called externalLink so you can make a CSS entry and change stuff around. give it a shot…

Had a problem with filtering something that was “double escaped,” so I changed the single quotes in the javascript example to double quotes and it works fine. Thanks!
