Need to open ALL links in new window

javascript · #1 (**permalink**) Jul 29th, 2006, 18:51

Hi,
I need a javascript code to put in a small page so that ALL of the links there are opened in a new window. This page will be embeddded in an iframe as it is from another host using php.

So all i need to do is add the javascript code to that page. If anyone knows please tell me.

P.s I don't want those ones which open new links from other host's (external sites). I need the one to open all the links.

Thanks

document.onload = function() {
var frame = parent.frames[0].document;
var links = frame.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i=0; i<links.length; ++i) {
links[i].setAttribute('target','_blank');
}
}

Nope this code doesn't work.
I'm sure there is a solution to this problem.
Here is the javascript code i put in:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
document.onload = function() {
var frame = parent.frames[0].document;
var links = frame.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i=0; i<links.length; ++i) {
links[i].setAttribute('target','_blank');
}
}
</SCRIPT>

is this correct.
If anyone knows, pls reply.
Thanks anyway jtek

Sorry for the previous post. I should have tested the code first. It turns out that document.onload needs to be changed to just onload. I have posted my test pages below.

Code: Select all

//test.htm
<html>
<head>
<script>
onload = function() {
    var frame = parent.frames[0].document;
    var links = frame.getElementsByTagName('a');
    for (var i=0; i<links.length; ++i) {
        links[i].setAttribute('target','_blank');
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="test2.htm" width="200" height="100"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Code: Select all

//test2.htm
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="test.htm">one</a><br><br>
<a href="test.htm">two</a><br><br>
<a href="test.htm">three</a>
</body>
</html>
