Would it be possible to add the functionality to open links with a particular class in a new tab/window.

Sometime it is desirable to open an internal link in a different window and this would be a simple way of doing it without using 'target'.

Hmm, I could set it up so that any links with class="newtab" would work. Sound good?

Sounds spot on :)

Sorry, didn't realise you were waiting for a patch. Here it is.

Oh I wasn't necessarily. I reset the status just in accordance with the status handbook page (http://drupal.org/node/156119) but thanks!

Committed a slightly modified version to 6.x-1.x-dev (http://drupal.org/node/716902) which takes up to 12 hours to roll a package, so you should see it soon.

Sorry but your modified version does not do the job. You are only allowing the 'newtab' class to trigger a new tab if it's an external link - which wasn't the idea. I think you got your logic a little confused. :)

Bah, committed the wrong version of that file. Thanks for the catch. Should be good now (once it regenerates the package).

Where and how do you go about setting up an internal link as class="newtab" ?

Assuming you're talking about a link in the content of a page (i.e., a node or block), just use instead of . If you're using a WYSIWYG, then you might check to see if it allows you to input custom classes.

Does it require the patch for it to work? I tried just putting in (newtab) in the Stylesheet Classes box under the Advanced tab for the Link edit using WYSIWYG. It did not work. What might I be doing wrong?

Never mind, I just used the Target tab for WYSIWYG when selecting edit link. I selected New Window(_blank) from the drop down window.And presto I got my new window with my search form.Yahoo!! Thanks for the help, it at least had me look elsewhere for a solution.

Hi, could you please patch the Drupal 7 dev version as well? I need the same functionality for opening internal links in new windows.
Thanks!

Help, I am a Drupal newbie, and I have been looking everywhere trying to figure out how to get an internal link to open in a new tab.

I don't understand how to do this. Could anybody put step-by-step directions in here? I need to know if I need to use a module and then what to do after that. Sorry if that is a lot of work, but it seems like it is a common task that would benefit everybody.
