<base target="blank">
 

Without having to modify all the links on a site, how can I use the base target tag in head tag to apply only to external links & not internal links?

I don't know if you can or not... but
<base target="blank">
should be
<base target="_blank">

both tags work on blogs.

Css loves you

well i think the way it works is "_blank" will always be a new window , but if you used "blank" your actually naming the new window "blank" so if you didnt close the window , and clicked another link in the first window , it would open up in the previous window instead of a blank one ( not that , that would happen much but.. FYI )

well you can do it easily with "replace all" without using the base target command..

if you did replace "<a href=http" with "<a target=_blank href=http"

then you would only be replacing outbound links

* presuming inbound links dont have http int hem because they are inbound and would be like " <a href=page.html>

but on a blog that wouldn't work , your better off using css

It might "work", but it's not the correct syntax and it may in fact not work properly on all browsers now or in the future.
