For anyone who has issues with the target=”_blank” not being added to links, try removing the <img tags.

thank you for your plugin. I use it in all my wordpress projects.

Today I extended it a little.
Why? Because I wanted to open external links in a new window but in a ‘XTHML 1.0 Strict’ compliant way, what means I had to use JS.

I took your PHP-file and add rel=”external” on line 42.
Than I included a tiny JavaScript in my page. It looks like this.

function externalLinks() {
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName(“a”);
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++) {
var anchor = anchors[i];
if (anchor.getAttribute("href") &&
anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "external")
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}

addEvent(window, 'load', externalLinks);

That's it! Now every external link will be opened in a new window. (In case that JS is activated.)
