Hi all,

I'm currently trying to add a simple external link script to an ASP .NET CMS driven site, but i can't get it to work...

Code:

function externalLinks() { 
 if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return; 
 var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
 for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++) { 
   var anchor = anchors[i]; 
   var parent = anchors[i].parentNode;
   if (parent.className == "external"){
   anchors[i].target = "_blank"
   }
 } 
} 
window.onload = externalLinks;

A lot of content in this site is generated using a CMS app. The links are generated using ASP .NET controls.

What i'm trying to do is: Get every <a> tag on the page and check if the parentNode contains a classname ("external").

I'm calling this function from within the <head> of the html pages (an include)...

Comments and advice much appreciated...

On a simple static page it works just fine:

To end this little self-discussion, everything is working fine now.
I can only assume there must have been some sort of caching issue...
