Base Target using Javascript
Hi,
Is there a way to have all offsite links open in a new window?

Links not at http://www.forum_domainname.com will have target="_blank" applied.

The pages are on a Remotely Hosted Forum.
All URL's are absolute.
All I can do is add Javascript to the Header or Footer.


Cheers,
Degs

degsy...

In <head>er:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function setTargets() {
var link, l = 0;
while (link = document.links[l++]) {
if (link.href.indexOf('http://www.forum_domainname.com') == -1)
link.target = '_blank';
}
}

</script>

Stick this at the bottom of the file, after all link HTML:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

setTargets();

</script>

You can also run it onload, if preferable.

I've ran into a problem.
I've just realised that the forum URL's are in the form of
http://forumdomain.com/forumname

e.g.
http://forumdomain.com/forumname1
http://forumdomain.com/forumname2
http://forumdomain.com/forumname3

and the posts are
http://forumdomain.com/forumname.post1
http://forumdomain.com/forumname.post2
http://forumdomain.com/forumname.post3


Can I change the URL in the script so that it works with this format.
Possibly using the .length method?

degsy...ya lost me...what posts?

OK; assuming the 'posts' are the 'offsite' links...

if (link.href.indexOf('.post') != -1)

Something like that. Some real sample urls would help (if those aren't).

Ok,
The board is at
http://pub53.ezboard.com/buhelpcanhelpforum


The forum URL's then differ slightly.
e.g.
The Notices and Announcement forum URL is
http://pub53.ezboard.com/fuhelpcanhelpforumfrm23

Then a Topic is
http://pub53.ezboard.com/fuhelpcanhelpforumfrm23.showMessage?topicID=41.topic



What I would like is that all URL's that are not part of those 3 formats to open in a New Window.
So a link posted to http://www.google.com would open a new window.


This is default for several messageboard programs, but not for ezboard

Maybe I'm misunderstanding...can't be this simple:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function setTargets() {
var link, l = 0;
while (link = document.links[l++]) {
if (link.href.indexOf('uhelpcanhelpforum') == -1)
link.target = '_blank';
}
}

onload = setTargets;

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://pub53.ezboard.com/buhelpcanhelpforum">board</a><br>
<a href="http://pub53.ezboard.com/fuhelpcanhelpforumfrm23">n & a</a><br>
<a href="http://pub53.ezboard.com/fuhelpcanhelpforumfrm23.showMessage?topicID=41.topic">topic</a><br>
<a href="http://www.google.com">google</a>
</body>
</html>

Yes, but alot of other forums are hosted on ezboard.
I would also class them as "offsite" links.


So i would like the script for anything with
uhelpcanhelpforum
(buhelpcanhelpforum or fuhelpcanhelpforum)



Thanks for persisting with this

Works perfectly.
Although I have found some other problems implementing it, but I'll have a play around with it.


For 2 URL's I could use this?
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function setTargets() {
var url1 = 'uhelpcanhelpforum'
var url2 = 'another_url'
var link, l = 0;
while (link = document.links[l++]) {
if (link.href.indexOf(url1) == -1 || link.href.indexOf(url2) == -1)
link.target = '_blank';
}
}

onload = setTargets;

</script>


Thanks for your time.

My final offer :


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

var checkURLs = new Array(
'uhelpcanhelpforum' ,
'another_url' ,
'yet_another_url'
);

function setTargets() {
var link, checkit, i, l = 0;
while (link = document.links[l++]) {
i = 0;
while (checkit = checkURLs[i++])
if (link.href.indexOf(checkit) != -1) break;
if (i > checkURLs.length) link.target = '_blank';
}
}

onload = setTargets;

</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://pub53.ezboard.com/buhelpcanhelpforum">-1-</a><br>
<a href="http://www.google.com/another_url">-2-</a><br>
<a href="http://www.google.com/yet_another_url">-3-</a><br>
<a href="http://www.google.com">google</a>
</body>
</html>
