Offsite Links

JavaScriptSource Staff Jun 7, 2006

Using this script, any links on a Web page to another domain will open in a new window. (We won't debate here the pros and cons of using this method.)

The JavaScript Source: Navigation : Offsite Links

Simply click inside the window below, use your cursor to highlight the script, and copy [Control]+C the script into a new file in your text editor (such as Note Pad) and save [Control+S]. The script is yours!!!

/* This script and many more are available free online at

var thispagedomain = ExtractDomainName(document.URL);

for(var i = 0; i <= document.links.length - 1; i++) {
  var url = document.links[i].href.toLowerCase();
  if(url.indexOf('http://') != 0) { continue; }
  var hrefdomain = ExtractDomainName(url);
  if(thispagedomain != hrefdomain) {
    document.links[i].target = '_blank';
  }
}
