Open External Links in New Window

JavaScript snippet for Chromeless Apps

Automatically open external links in a new window when your web app runs in a chromeless runtime.

Especially useful for Firefox OS and iOS web apps! Created for Firefox OS apps, works on the whole modern web.

Why it doesn't suck

  • Event delegation: Fast load and works on dynamic content
  • Doesn't use window.open, just changes the target for clicked links
  • Keeps existing target references intact
  • Vanilla JavaScript (i.e. no dependencies), the best cross-browser framework!

Why it's not a 100% solution

  • Can't catch links to pages on the same host that don't have navigation back to your web app
  • If you use multiple hostnames (e.g. login.mywebsite.com and www.mywebsite.com) within your app then those links will be broken.

How to Use

Either or:

  • Copy code into your web app project,
  • Embed deferred via github,
  • โ€ฆ or just get inspired and make your own.
