opening external links apart from target=_blank

i am three weeks old when it comes to webpage design. How can i open external links in a new browser from my webpage without having to use the target=_blank as this can be difficult with the number of links on my webpage.

Is there anyway i could have something on my style sheet to address this issue?

If there isn't, and i have to use a code please let me know where i would have to insert it.

 

Actually its really easy just us FIND & REPLACE.

Simply find <a and replace with <a target="_blank"

 

even having something on your style sheet doesnt free you from inserting codes, you always have to put codes for what you have to do. use softwares such as dreamweaver to ease your editing.

 

You're going to have to resort to JavaScript, unfortunately. The good news is that the hard work has already been done for you.

The bad news is that you shouldn't force new windows to open since it's bad for usability (though I can see legitimate uses for it - such as media players).

 

also read this in case you want control of which links you want to open in new window:

Thanks for the links. I'll give them a read and let you know how it works.
