I want to use a sponsor's RSS feed in a sidebar and there is no way to add a target attribute to the link in the RSS widget.
The smartlink plugin does not seem to work for sidebar links.
I have a piece of java script but the upgraded wordpress forces changes to the script when you save in a text box and it does not work at all.
Has anybody any ideas?
I have just discovered that the script changes forced by wordpress also prevent statcounter from being installed on new blogs - this is actually a far more serious issue. |

Hi there,
i have just tested javascript code and statcounter code in a Text widget and all is normal, i don't see anything changed or something broken. Are you sure you are using a regular Text widget to put your javascript code?
As about the new window links, i don't see such an option to be available in WP..

Yeah there is only one text box. I got stat counter to work by using the XHTML compliant code. There is a new window option at the bottom of the Smartlinks plugin settings but I seem to recall that Smartlinks don't work with later versions of WP. I also set it to noindex but that has no effect either.
I also tried enclosing the javascript with CDATA and comment tags but that didn't work.
This is the java I want in a text box (it should really go in the <head>)
<script>
function externalLinks()
{
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++)
{
var anchor = anchors[i];
if(anchor.getAttribute("href"))
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}
window.onload = externalLinks;
</script>
When I click save it becomes this:
<script>
function externalLinks()
{
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++)
{
var anchor = anchors[i];
if(anchor.getAttribute("href"))
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}
window.onload = externalLinks;
</script>
And doesn't work. I assume it's something to do with XHTML compliance but I don't know. |

It looks like the plugin allowing javascript,embeds and etc.. got broken. I have fixed it now, so try now to put the javascript code. For me it gets imported fine..
