Is there a way to have all external links open in a new window, and all links of the home domain to open in _self ?
at the moment i have a page where all links are opened in a new window due to this tag that i am using:
<base target="_blank">
can this be modified? |

Wouldn't just dropping the target="_blank" accomplish that?

If I drop target blank then all links will open in the same window, even external ones? | |

On "my" home page all of my links open in a new window with the exception of Hardware Links which opens in the same window.
I just dropped the "blank" tag on that one.
So I would assume that external links would do the same thing. http://members.cox.net/ihategates/mylinks.html

I just had a look at the source of your page, in your case each link has it's own individual tag to specify which target frame to open in.
On the other hand what I am looking for is some html code that automatically checks to see if a link is on the home domain or external and then either allows it to open in the _self frame or _blank
In other words, the tag I posted in my first post is not placed in each link, it resides in the <head></head> section. | |

I was wondering if I understood what you were asking.
Obviously not. 
Maybe someone at HTML Forums can help you out.

As far as I know, you can't do what you want without scripting, CM. Most people just use target="_blank" in the links they want to be new pages. If you have more new page links than not, you could do base target="_blank" and then do target="_self" in the links you want native.
Otherwise I think you'd have to do some sort of funky programming that would be more time and effort than just using the target switch. |
