Fortunately, mozilla can be configured to ignore that annoying “open in new window” silliness… :-) (See http://gammatron.novarese.net/2002/10/17.html#a2032246)

There’s a more canonical way to do this in CSS. Check out: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/generate.html#before-after-content

Note: I haven’t actually played with this myself, and it’s possible that some browsers will ignore it.

Worse than ignoring it, some browsers really muck it up. IE 6 appears to put the “after content” inside the block instead of after the block. Basically, whatever’s in the after content sits on top of what it’s supposed to be after.

Thanks adam! This is a good solution.

Just a tip to all reading this you need the regex plugin and the macro one by the look of it.

Looking for an icon? Send me a ping and you can use this one: http://blog.iloaf.com/archives/000107.html

All you need is Macros, the regex plugin isn’t needed.

Hello, I just installed MTMacro. I’m still having a difficult time trying to understand how this plugin works. I have the AXS visitor tracker on in my blog. I want to track “outside” links, and it requires me to prepend “http://mydomainname.com/axs/ax.pl?” before each link in the href attribute. ie. If I wanted to track who clicks a link to nytimes.com, I’d have href=”http://mydomainname.com/axs/ax.pl?http://nytimes.com” target=blank” I want to use this plugin to automatically prepend this to each link outside of my site because handtyping it in is such a pain. But I don’t want to it to prepend to any internal links since they’re all tracked anyway. And also add the target=”blank” attribute to the external links as well. Any help with be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hmmm. So why would a space appear instead of the icon in some links? For example, the link you included to Web Graphics has a blank space where the icon should be. I have a similar situation with a link on my site.

At first I thought it was the hyphen in the domain name (because your link and mine both have one), but I tested by removing the hyphen and still had the same problem.

i love oll
