This module automatically opens links to external websites or PDF documents in a new browser tab, ensuring clean HTML validation. It can be configured to apply to specific pages on your site.
This extremely simple module allows you to easily open links to external sites or PDF documents in new tabs. It uses jQuery instead of target=_blank so the markup will still validate. You can also configure which pages you would like this module to apply to.
It's preferred over the great http://drupal.org/project/extlink module for cases when you either only need this one feature (since this module is much more lean) or it is important that the generated (i.e., dynamically by JavaScript) markup still validate.
Installation
- Download and enable the module
- Configure module on /admin/config/content/external
- Profit! You're done! However, if you want to enable or disable the module on a per-page basis, visit the configuration page.
