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

<base target="_blank">

You should tell that to whoever wrote this:

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...

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

**Robertf** · 05-21-2005, 05:02 PM

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.

**nico-t** · 05-21-2005, 05:10 PM

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

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

**nico-t** · 05-21-2005, 05:20 PM

I hope it works out for you

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!

**nico-t** · 05-21-2005, 05:29 PM

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

**Orange Sim** · 05-21-2005, 05:34 PM

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!
