Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to make the icon that shows up next to the external link also be part of the clickable link. This would mimic the way that wikipedia works.

Thanks,

Greg

It is possible to do this through CSS, but it will cause display problems in IE6. See #132614: strange graphic placement when link wraps line.

As stated in #1, because drupal supports IE6 in D7, we can't implement this.

We will probably fix it in 8.x, which supports IE8+.

Let's reconsider this, considering IE6 (and IE7) support is <1% at this point.

Heh, and it also looks like #2124457: compatibility of jquery >=1.9 removed IE6/7 compatibility anyway. :)

This has been implemented as part of #2255295: Improve compatibility with screen readers. Essentially we just replaced the $.after() with $.append().
