POHow to Make All External Links Open Up in a Custom Sized Popup Window?
text
Body
copied!<p>Using this code, I am able to select all external links and make it so they open in a new tab:</p> <pre><code>$.expr[':'].external = function(obj){ return !obj.href.match(/^mailto\:/) && (obj.hostname != location.hostname) && !obj.href.match(/^javascript\:/) && !obj.href.match(/^$/) }; $('a:external').attr('target', '_blank'); </code></pre> <p>Is there a way that I can modify that </p> <p>so it does this function:</p> <pre><code> var newwindow; function poptastic(url){ newwindow=window.open(url,'name', 'height=800,width=1020,scrollbars=yes'); if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}} </code></pre> <p>Ultimately I want it to just do the bottom function, but to all external links instead of having to go in and add this to each external link:</p> <pre><code> <a href="javascript:poptastic('http://www.external-link.com')">External Link</a> </code></pre> <p>(I know that some people don't like this, requiring the user to have a new window popped open instead of just doing target="_blank", but I have asked a small group of users in the age group for my client's site, and they all preferred this method greatly over it opening in a new tab).</p> <p>Also, is there a way that I can add to the top part so any .PDF files will also do the above command? Its set up so its only for external sites, but could you make an exception for any .pdf too?</p> <p>Thanks so much guys!</p>
