how can I let url's inserted with the PD Editor automaticly pop up in a blank window in stead of the same window?

I was suprised no one has ever asked it here, searched 4 it, but couln't find anything like that ...

You can select 'View HTML' in the PD Editor and add the target="blank" code.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
Other than that, you can select 'View HTML' in the PD Editor and add the target="blank" code.
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

thnx a lot, but adding the target in each link is not an option. The purpose is to make a CMS for a client witch can be updated by John Doe en Co, so I don't link the idea they can fool around in html, cause I know who can fix it when it goes wrong

When displaying results from PD Editor...
Find: &lt;%=(TableName.Fields.Item("FieldName".Value)%&gt;
and replace it with: &lt;%=Replace((TableName.Fields.Item("FieldName".Value), "&lt;a ", "&lt;a target=_blank "%&gt;

Decided to revive this old thread, even though the PD Editor is pretty much ancient by now...

I'm having problems getting it to link to "_blank". I tried both suggestions here, neither worked for me.

Any other suggestions? Is there any other similar (free) editor that would solve the problem?

Thanks!

*Forgot: I'm using Dreamweaver MX and ASP VBScript.

This isn't directly fixing the PD Editor issue, but one simple way to have all your client's CMS links to open in new windows is to add this tag into the head of the webpage that their content shows up in:

&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Document Name&lt;/title&gt;
<b>&lt;base target="_blank"&gt;</b>
&lt;/head&gt;

It is a very simple approach, but effective in many situations.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Document Name&lt;/title&gt;
<b>&lt;base target="_blank"&gt;</b>
&lt;/head&gt;
<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Well, this is a sort of "cheap" workaround, because all navigation (and any other links the page has) for example opens in blank windows also...

edit: Now I got it - I'll just have to change the other links (eg. navigation) in the template to "_parent". That did it!
