			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, this is a simple question really.You have a links list, and want the links to open in a new window. Not really best practise, but a common request for external links. (Best practise is of course to let the user decide &#8211; just hold down Shift while clicking the link and it opens in a new window). </p>
<p>The answer can be simple or a little more advanced, depending on how you solve it:</p>
<p><strong>1.#openinnewwindow</strong></p>
<p> To add #openinnewwindow to the end of the URL is a common suggestion, but it doesn&#8217;t work unless you make some JavaScript modifications.</p>
<p><strong>2. Summary Links Web Part</strong></p>
<p>Using MOSS, you say? Well, let the Summary Links Web Part come to the rescue. This web part is included in MOSS. Add this web part to a page and you can easily customze the links.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/summarylinkwp.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33" title="Summary Link Web Part" src="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/summarylinkwp.png" alt="Summary Link Web Part" width="641" height="214" /></a></p>
<p>The drawback is that you add and edit the links in the web parts itself, it&#8217;s not connected to a list &#8211; not the Sharepoint way to do it if you ask me. You&#8217;ll have to have Design or Contribute permissions to add links that everyone can see.</p>
<p><strong>3. Convert to XSLT Data View</strong></p>
<p>OK, you only have WSS but you have Sharepoint Designer? Well, just open the page where you have a web part showing links from you links list in Sharepoint Designer.</p>
<p>Right-click &#8211; Convert to XSLT Data View.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/converttodataview.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40" title="Sharepoint Designer Convert to Data View" src="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/converttodataview.png" alt="Convert to data view" width="304" height="363" /></a></p>
<p>Now you can right-click a link and set the target to a new window.</p>
<p><span id="more-32"></span></p>
<p>Right-click and choose Hyperlink Properties:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/link_prop.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41" title="Hyperlink properties" src="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/link_prop.png" alt="Hyperlink properties" width="298" height="662" /></a></p>
<p>Click Target Frame:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/edit_hyperlink.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43" title="Edit hyperlink" src="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/edit_hyperlink.png" alt="Edit hyperlink" width="655" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>Choose New Window:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/target_frame.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42" title="Target Frame" src="http://www.uccorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/target_frame.png" alt="Target Frame" width="367" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! You can also set this as page default if you like.</p>
