Where do I insert target='_blank'

[ghoulardi]

Im working on a toolbar for IE. It has a button
you can use to open a selected (highlighted) non active url.
It opens the link in the same window.

It works fine but I want the link to open in a new window.

I just cannot figure out where to insert target='_blank'

here is the line I need to insert it to.

"javascript:q=(document.frames.length?'':document.selection.createRange().text);for(i=0;i<document.frames.length;i++){q=document.frames.document.selection.createRange().text;if(q!='')break;}if(q=='')void(alert('Nothing was selected. Please select an URL on the page. '));if(q!=''){if(q.substr(0,7)!=\"

http://\"){parent.document.location...document.location.href=q;}location.href=q;}}"

Can someone Please help me???
Thank you very much!

Typically you would put target="_blank" in the <a href> HTML link:

<a href="" target="blank">

Maybe for the solution you are working on you need to look into using window.open. Do a search (in this forum or on google etc) for window.open for references to it's use (it's been covered here a lot).

I haven't got a way to test this, and I'm not certain if this is what you want (for all 3 possibilities according to the code), but try this suggestion:

"javascript:q=(document.frames.length?'':document.selection.createRange().text);for(i=0;i<document.frames.length;i++){q=document.frames.document.selection.createRange().text;if(q!='')break;}if(q=='')void(alert('Nothing was selected. Please select an URL on the page. '));if(q!=''){if(q.substr(0,7)!=\"[URL unfurl="true"]http://\"){myWin=window.open('http://'+q,'myWindow','');return[/URL] false;}else{myWin=window.open(q,'myWindow','');return false;}myWin=window.open(q,'myWindow','');return false;}}"

I've modified near the end of the string to use window.open (which ought to open things in a new window for you).

Please let me know how you go!

Thanks alot for taking the time to try and help me with this. It didnt work unfortunatley, but I have atleast got an idea of what it should look like. As you can probably tell I know very little about javascript.
If your interested in testing a little, the link for the toolbar is below. If not its still a pretty cool alternative for the google toolbar. You can tottaly custumize it and add your own search engines.
Im using a resource editor called Resource hacker. The javascript line is located under string 8, line 113 in the ultrabar.dll file.
