When I was writing (a lot of) <a> tags I didn't write 'target="_blank"', so none of the links are leading to another windows or tag.
Is there a way to add "target='_blank'" to all the links with JavaScript?

Are you trying to avoid a search&replace?phaberest– phaberest2016-02-11 19:41:15 +00:00Commented Feb 11, 2016 at 19:41

You don't need JavaScript at all. You can use the base element in your head to specify a base URL or target for anchors.
<base target="_blank"> will make all links on your page open in new windows and/or tabs.
More information on the base element can be found on MDN.

Thank you!!! It worked. It's because I can't study on a paid place, so what is free I am studying, but it isn't working.
Previously answered here: How do I add target="_blank" to a link within a specified div?
Code:
/* here are two different ways to do this */
//using jquery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#link_other a').attr('target', '_blank');
});
// not using jquery
window.onload = function(){
var anchors = document.getElementById('link_other').getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++){
anchors[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank');
}
}
// jquery is prettier. :-)
