howto: automatically change the href target if href is #

[simplifyit]

Hi All,

I am looking for a simple javascript that i can had to a page that will automatically search all of the links on a page and if it finds any that are

<a href="#">anylink</a>

will add target="_self" these specific links so that they become

<a href="#" target="_self">anylink</a>

Basically all i want to do is add the target reference on for hash links.

Hope that makes sense...

Any and all help very appreciated!

Cheers,
Darren

function addEvent(el, ev, f) {
  if(el.addEventListener)
    el.addEventListener(ev, f, false);
  else if(el.attachEvent)
    el.attachEvent("on" + ev, f);
  else
    el['on' + ev] = f;
}

addEvent(
  window,
  "load",
  function() {
    for(var i = 0, e = document.links || document.getElementsByTagName("a"); i < e.length; ++i)
      if(e[i].href && e[i].href === "#")
        e[i].target = "_self";
  }
);
