Forum:Is there a way to place links that open in a new window? Any necessary coding?

The title says it all. I am looking for a way to open internal and external web pages in separate windows. Any help?

 * No, not with wikitext. With JS, however, you can use, but ultimately the browser decides what to do with that.

Ah well. Thanks anyways.--

 * @Moncho: Can you work up a simple JS routine to add  to links with a class assigned to a div around them or something? I will work on it, but you're a much better JS coder than I am.
 * @Pikapi: Dude you need to cut down your sig... it is huge!

 * Something simple like this should be enough:

$('.newtab a').attr('target','_blank');

 * Indeed it is.  is the wikisyntax to go along with that.
