TrishaM, if you are using bb-tweaks.php you can just add the above code to the bottom of it and disable the target_blank filter. But it will work either way.

lstelie, there is another problem with using javascript as it increases the amount of time before the page is ready. If you are going to throw in rel=”external” you might as well do target. (In fact, you don’t even need rel=”external” as you can scan the domain for each link with javascript on the fly.) But I assure you that target will be supported in browsers ten years from now, maybe even twenty. People who insist on perfect validation need to find more productive things to do with their time, there’s alot of code out there that needs to be written!

Throw off the shackles of validation!

(I need that as a bumper sticker)
