I will explain my requirement.

I have pages which contain links to other parts of the site or to pages of other sites (external links).

I want to detect the click of the external links and to open it on a new window. The links to other pages of same site should be opened in the same window. But links to pages of other sites should be opened in another window.

This is a content managed site and hence, I have no control on the links put on the site. So, I cannot use the target option of links.

Can this be done with JavaScript ?

Thanks.

Hii Madhukp!!
You can do this by two ways,may be others also :)
1) Ur asp/php code contains href tag with onclick() event for every href tag,using script,well i don't prefer this technique.In this case
<a href="sd.html" onclick="myfun(this);return false;">adas</a>
<a href="sd1.html" onclick="myfun(this);return false;">adas1</a>
<a href="sd2.html" onclick="myfun(this);return false;">adas2</a>
<a href="sd3.html" onclick="myfun(this);return false;">adas3</a>
<a href="sd4.html" onclick="myfun(this);return false;">adas4</a>


2) I like to use Dom :)

<a href="sd.html">adas</a>
<a href="sd1.html">adas1</a>
<a href="sd2.html">adas2</a>
<a href="sd3.html">adas3</a>
<a href="sd4.html">adas4</a>
<script>
 obj=document.getElementsByTagName('a')
for(i=0;i<obj.length;i++)
{
 obj[i].onclick=function(){myfun(this);return false;};
}
function myfun(obj)
{
alert(obj.href) //this will be the href
chk_domain=obj.href
isurdomain="no" //you must provide it,and check as per ur requirement
if(chk_domain==isurdomain)
 { alert("from ur domain")
   document.location.href=obj.href}
else
 { alert("open new window")
  window.open(obj.href,"","height=500,width=800")
}

}
</script>

Hope this will help you


Cheers :)
