Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 01.2007

Hi,

Just sorting some accessibility bits and bobs with my site.

I have a few a tags that open in a new window if js is on and in the current if its unavailable…

what I want is to add ‘opens in new window’ to the text of the link..

something like this

[CODE]<a onclick=”window.open(this.href); return false;” onkeypress=”window.open(this.href); return false;” href=”http://www.asite.co.uk”>www.asite.co.uk <script type=”text/javascript”> this.innerHTML += ‘(opens new window)’;</script></a>[/CODE]

If anyone could help with this I would be very grateful…

Thanks in advance

@konithomimoMar 01.2007 — Call this onload:
function addToA(){
var as = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var i=0;i&lt;as.length;i++)
as[i].firstChild.data += '(opens in new window)';
return;
}

Of course, that adds it to every <a> object on the page. TO specify specific ones you will have to put them all in a containing object such as a DIV, or give them a class.

not all links open in a new window - even in the same div some do some don't.

Success!
