Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. //for links in XHTML that should open in another window (since the target attribute is invalid)
  2. //to use it, add class names to the links like so: target-windowName, target-_top, or simply target- for "_blank"
  3. //BEWARE! it replaces any function that is already assigned to the onclick event
  4. function setUpTargetLinks()
  5. {
  6. 	var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
  7. 	var name;
  8. 	for(a in links)
  9. 	{
  10. 		name = a.className.replace(/(?:^|.*\s)target-([a-z0-9_-]*).*$/i, "$1");
  11. 		if(name == "_self") continue;
