So, I found some awesome code for making the links in ones website open in a new tab. It works, a little too well, I think. After a few days I realized that the same effect was being applied to the buttons in my *navigation bar*, lool.

Is there any way to restrict this to just specific links? http://philipos.com.


		<script type="text/javascript">
		function externalLinks()
		{
		  if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
		  var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
		  for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++)
		  {
		      var anchor = anchors[i];
		      if(anchor.getAttribute("href"))
				anchor.target = "_blank";
		  }
		}
		window.onload = externalLinks;
		</script>



Thanks again.

@Philip: Just put target="_blank" in the links that you want to open in a new window/tab:


<a href="page.html" target="_blank"> ... </a>


That's all that JavaScript is doing.

Cheers,
Matt
