Further to Keith's comments about preferring *not* to open external
links in a new window, it appears there's a way to give users the
choice on any given site.

Who knew?

(Yes I know it's a prefernce in more modern browsers. But I bet most
of my clients don't).


html for a preferences check box:
<form> <input type="checkbox" onclick="linkopener(this.checked)"
id="linksnewwin"> Open external links in a new tab? </form>

JavaScript:
Open external links in a new tab?
<script language="javascript"> function linkopener(a)
{ var b = a ? "_blank" : "_self";
var c = document.links;
for (var i=0; i < c.length; i++) {
if (c[i].href.search("domain.com") == -1) c[i].target = b;
}
}
</script>

Man, this web thing's getting complicated.
