Opening https links in new window

[miketosetto]

1) Script Title:
Open offsite links in new window script

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...newwindow2.htm

3) Describe problem:
Open offsite links in new window script is amazing, but it doesn't seem to work with https links. Works perfectly with http links.

Is it possible to modify the JS file to allow this? If so, would you be so kind as to show me what line and where?

Hoping you can help.

Cheers

Mike

In the ddwindowlinks.js script, line #25:

			if (all_links[i].hostname.search(rexcludedomains)==-1 && all_links[i].href.indexOf("http:")!=-1)

Using a text only editor like NotePad, change that to:

			if (all_links[i].hostname.search(rexcludedomains)==-1 && /^http/.test(all_links[i].href))

Save and use that version. It will work for both http and https, any href that begins with http and is not excluded.

The browser cache may need to be cleared and/or the page refreshed to see changes.

Thanks so much for getting back to me. I really appreciate it.

Your solution is almost perfect except now it opens local pages in new windows. For example local pages target _blank rather than _self.

Is there a work around for this?

Thanks

Ah, I see, the demo page neglects to clearly tell that you have to edit the excludedomains property in ddwindowlinks.js.

Again using NotePad or similar, change (from the top of the file):

//Open offsite links in new window script- http://www.dynamicdrive.com/
//Created: August 28th, 2007'

var ddwindowlinks={
//1)Enter domains to be EXCLUDED from opening in new window:
excludedomains: ["dynamicdrive.com", "google.com"],

//2) Target for links that sho . . .

to:

//Open offsite links in new window script- http://www.dynamicdrive.com/
//Created: August 28th, 2007'

var ddwindowlinks={
//1)Enter domains to be EXCLUDED from opening in new window:
excludedomains: ["miketosetto.com"],

//2) Target for links that sho . . .

Save and use that file.
