Redirect offsite links to open in a new window

A re-jig of a script to fix the problem with Bulk Commands for admin and mods. Can use this and still use the Check All / Clear All links within forums, and any other links with javascript in their href.

Place this script in your custom <head>, 1st box in custom HTML.

 
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect()
{
  for (k = 0; k < document.links.length; k++) {
    if (document.links[k].href.toLowerCase().indexOf("javascript") == -1) {
      if (document.links[k].hostname != self.location.hostname) {
        document.links[k].target = "_blank"
        } else { 
        document.links[k].target = "_self"
      }
    }
  }
}
window.onload = redirect;
</script>

Re: Redirect offsite links to open in a new window

If you discover that some links may not get redirected with the above script, it may be that the page has not fully loaded and therefor the script has not quite kicked in yet, so use this script instead...

  
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect()
{
  for (k = 0; k < document.links.length; k++) {
    if (document.links[k].href.toLowerCase().indexOf("javascript") == -1) {
      if (document.links[k].hostname != self.location.hostname) {
        document.links[k].target = "_blank"
        } else { 
        document.links[k].target = "_self"
      }
    }
  }
}

redirect();
</script>
