   Currently I have a link setup via the Write -> Pages function in the WordPress admin function and I would like this link to open in a new window as opposed to taking over my blog window.

   sure that works, but i am talking about by default. when soneone clicks on it that it will open in a new window sort of like the _blank command.

   Im not sure I follow. If you want one of the links that you wrote in a Page to open in a new window. When you write your Page stuff, then in there you want a link - just add the link from the clicktags and add the target="_Blank" to the
   eg Your Link text
   Im sorry if Ive misunderstood your question.

   Murry - look for the backtick
   On my UK keyboard, it's to the left of the 1 and also has the ¬ character on it.

   Enclosing <code> allows the <brackets> to be seen

    I think that I want to do the same as you.

    When I post a link in one of my articles, it will default to this ...
    <a href="http://xxx.com">xxxx</a>
    where I want it to default to this...
    <a href="http://xxx.com" target="_blank">xxxx</a>

    I tried to dig around in the "quicktags.js" file, but so far, no success. I am sure that I AM in the right place though.

    Help?

    RazorSA, near the end of quicktags.js look for the edInsertLink function, and change this line:

    edButtons[i].tagStart = '<a href="' + URL + '">';

    to:

    edButtons[i].tagStart = '<a href="' + URL + '" target="_blank">';

    Damn... I had actually already done that... But my browser had obviously cached the js file...

    Thanks for your help man! It is working now!
