With JQuery how can I have every link on my blog open in another window?

Question

The title says it all. Instead of putting "target="_blank" on every link, how can I do it with jQuery?

Answer 1

Uh, I guess you could do something like this:

$('a.newWindow').click(function() {
    var href = $(this).attr('href');
    if(href.length > 0) {
       window.open(href);
    }
});

Or, just do it the right way:

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

Answer 2

you don't need jQuery

insert this to your <header>

<base target="_blank" />
