Overview

The external link overlay makes it easier to visit external sites by displaying external pages as a layer over the current page (using JavaScript), rather than replacing the page in your browser window or opening it in a new window. Once an overlay is active, you can use the close link on the overlay to return to the page you were viewing before you clicked the link. It helps you to keep user on your site.
