Opens external links in a new window, keeping your blog page in the browser so you don't lose surfers to another site.

== Description ==
The Open in New Window Plugin Plugin uses JavaScript to target external links to a new browser window, leaving your blog page open. 

Since it uses javascript, it targets more links than using a plugin that filter pages and rewrite the link. The plugin will find many links generated in scripts or pasted into posts and comments.
 
Due to the limitations of  javascript it will not be able target links in iframes such as Adsense and some other affiliate links.


== Installation ==
1. Download the plugin.
2. Upload the plugin to your wp-content/plugins directory.
3. Activate the plugin.

Added a title attribute to links when when none exists. It uses the innerHTML to the link to display a title when you hover over the link.

= 1.2 =
Links with "javascript:" as url tried to open in a new window and did not operate correctly. This detects this and acts appropriately.

If you had issues where some links did not open in a new window, this might help. It delays modifying the links until after the page has loaded. If 1.0 is working for you then don't bother as no bugs were fixed.
