External Links in New Window / New Tab

The Open external links in a new window plugin allows users to set URLs that should either be forced to open in a new window or ignored. The plugin produces XHTML Strict compliant code and is search engine optimized. It uses JavaScript's window.open() function and adds only a few lines of vanilla JavaScript to the page. Unlike other plugins that alter the target parameter, this plugin handles links client-side, allowing search engines to follow the links properly. The plugin is inactive if a browser does not support JavaScript.
