opening Links in new window

is there an html code or a javascript code that makes all html pages open in a new window. Not something that I need to input for new pages. This is because i have an established website and i want all the windows open in a new window so that they don't leave the site. I figure putting something in the head tag would be faster an easier than manually changing each and every single link.

I know people will ask about my internal links. My internal links are on a the side menu which is on a different file (I use ColdFusion).

Thanks in advance

 

yea its in the html code

i dont remember off the top of my head

but while its <a href="http://www.Google.com target="_blank">Google</a> target blank opens a new window i think

 

Thanks but please read my original post...i know how to make a link open in a new window, i need a code that makes ALL links open in a new window on a particular page

 

I would recommend not doing this. It's annoying when windows keep opening. It will not keep your visitors...what it will do is bother them enough never to return.

 

Thanks, i dont mean to be rude, but i am not asking for advice i am asking for technical assistance

 

Well I would take the advice.

 

Well, if you just insist on doing something silly, add this to your head area.

<script type="text/css">
window.onload = function() {
    var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
    for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
	links[i].onclick = function() {
	    return !window.open(this.href);
	}
    }
}
</script>

Code (markup):

cheers,
