You cannot replace functional attributes like target with CSS. You need
a script to do the job for you.
Personally I am using this one:
function externallinks()
{
var c=document.getElementById('content');
if(c)
{
var ls=c.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var i=0;i<ls.length;i++){
if(ls[i].getAttribute('rel')=='external')
{
ls[i].className+=ls[i].className?' extlink':'extlink';
ls[i].title+='(opens in new window)';
ls[i].onclick=function(){window.open(this.href);return
false}
}
}
}
}
which gets called when the page is loaded.
window.onload=function(){
if(!document.getElementById && !document.createTextNode){return;}
externallinks();
}
It opens every link inside the element with the id content that has the
attribute rel="external" in a new window (circumventing the illegal
"target") and adds the class "extlink" to these links. Furthermore it
adds a title that tells the user that this link will open in a new window.
