target="_blank" to rel="external"

cd34 wrote up this handy bit of code to open all external links in a new window/tab

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var localdomain='link-o-rama.com';
var hrefs = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0, max=hrefs.length; i<max; i++) {
  if (hrefs[i].href.indexOf(localdomain) == -1) {
    hrefs[i].target='_blank';
  }
};
// -->
</script>

Just change link-o-rama.com to your domain & put this above the </body> tag

Excellent, thanks. I'll use it in meta tag like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="file_path/external.js"></script>

Sorry, this construction comes from my native language. I'm seriously considering moving my stuff out there (the most tempting thing for me is unlimited amount of IP's).

Thanks for that bit of code. I have a good use for it.
