Jeremy Keith recently spoke about using the class in the link to
target a javascript to add the behavior, leaving a nice, clean link.
In the case of PDFs opening in a new window, you might not even need
to add a class. You could write a function that looks for the file
extension .pdf in the href attribute and open that link in a new
window. Something like this:
function preparePDFlinks() {
if (!document.getElementsByTagName);
var lnks = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i<lnks.length; i++) {
if (lnks[i].getAttribute("href").indexOf(".pdf") != -1) {
lnks[i].onclick = function() {
return !window.open(this.href);
}
}
}
}
window.onload = preparePDFlinks;
I haven't tested that: it's just an idea really.
