Make Blog Links Open in New Window
Blog often links to external web pages, it's better to open the link in a new window and keep the visitors stay on your Blog. I don't want to add the html code "target=_blank" every time I insert a URL, it should be possible by modifying the movable type templates.
According to my last post: Movable Type Templates, I searched MT support forum and found the thread, but this thread only works on old versions, you should follow it if you use MT 2.x.
In MT 3.x, I found all the JavaScripts moved to a central file "mt.js" under the root directory, open the file and find the following line:
setSelection(e, '<a href="' + my_link + '">' + str + '</a>');
Modify to:
setSelection(e, '<a href="' + my_link + '" target="_blank">' + str + '</a>');
Then upload this file to your web server, it will add "target=_blank" automatically when you insert a URL.
