how do i let links open in a new window using css?
 

I wanna use a class in css to define that the links between that class's tags on the actual page open up in a new window.

Lets say i wanna call this class 'blanktarget', whats the code i gotta put in the style sheet file? U know something like this:
(^^^^ improvised code just for an example)

so that the links between these tags:
<div class="blanktarget"></div>
open up in a new window.

Why don't you just use TARGET="_blank" in your links like normal?

its a hardlink trade list in my blog, but u add the links quickly thru an admin panel..i dont wanna get into the source too everytime i add a link.

some people really like to make things more difficult for themselves than they have to be...

like you ?

Can't you edit the program?

no its a bit more complicated then this. If i could do it more simple id already done it.

Just add this below </head> ..

..and all the links will open in new window.

There is some HTML that I never knew existed !

You should tell that to whoever wrote this:

:winkwink:

It's not possible.

thanks, but i want just several "blocks" of links to open in a new window, not the whole page....
Its a wordpress blog, with several php files/templates etc thrown together when u visit the site, thats why the way i want it is, as far as i know, the only option really...

christ.... u know this 100% sure?

doesn't this code do it? Or am I reading this wrong?

It's javascript.. but thats ok isn't it?

You can't do that in CSS ....

As suggested before .. or you let all open i na new window or you will have to add target=.. to the links you wanne open in a new window.

ok so no css...
^^ this might actually work... the internal links, like the category links all open in the same window when i put my domain name in that piece of code.. so im gonna give this one a try! Thanks for the link :)

Javascript is not the same thign as CSS.

I was more or less looking for any kind of a solution

since css doesnt have this sort of code its a good substite, i just tested this javascript code, and it works perfectly! my blog is now exactly the way i want, thanks :thumbsup

I hope it works out for you :thumbsup

Of course your surfers without javascript aren't going to like it :(

yeah ok, but who aint got javascript these days? i thought all the browsers got javascript, only not when u disable it yourself manually.... so i think this solution is fine :)

The <base target="_blank"> tag will work. Add it in to where it needs to be. On my wordpress blog, it is inserted in the index_sidebar.html and the post_sidebar.html. But then again, I don't mind going in and editing a couple lines of code to add a link so I can have my site act the way I want.
Sample:

<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li id="recentposts">Recent Posts
{recentposts mode="list"}
</li>

<li id="categories">Categories:
{sectionlinks mode="list" skip=10}
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li id="Links">Links
<ul>
Hand coded links to open in same window are below here!
then...
<base target="_blank">
<li id="Pornblog">Porn Blogs
<ul>
and hand coded links for links I want to open in new window go here!

^^ nice explanation, gonna try this tomorrow, thanks man :)

You can't do that in CSS.
You are mis-understanding what CSS is for and what it does.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents.

misterwalrus, just put that base target code in my blog and it works perfect, thanks!

Best way of doing it :2 cents:

Glad to help!
