It relies however on recent Prototype $$ changes: function init_external_links() { $$('a[rel~=external]').each(function(link){link.target = "_blank";}); } Event.observe(window,'load',init_external_links); This will match on any A tag with a rel with "external" somewhere in the value. So it would still work with rel="external nofollow" type attributes. Here’s a better way to use Prototype to do this. It relies however on recent Prototype $$ changes:
