Question

I need some help to create jquery script 🙂
I have some of link like this on my HTML.

<a href="http://google.com">Google</a>
<a href="/">Home</a>
<a href="http://www.gusdecool.com/">Home</a>
<a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a>

And now i want jQuery to check all of the link on my page. if that link is outside of my server (my server is gusdecool.com). Then add target="_blank". and the result will be like this

<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>
<a href="/">Home</a>
<a href="http://www.gusdecool.com/">Home</a>
<a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a>

Answer 1

assuming that all external links will start with http:// you could do this:

$('a[href^="http://"]').not('a[href*=gusdecool]').attr('target','_blank');
