When I first started this site, all links to other sites, just went to the site concerned. After a while, I changed it so that every link would open in a new window. The idea being, if when you went there, if you weren't interested in what I was linking to, you could just close the window, and be back at EID without having to wait for the page to reload (handy if the visitor counter, or comments system servers are running slowly)

Whilst investigating stuff I want to do with the new site, I've found a bit of javascript that lets you the reader choose where links open in the same, or a new, window. I've implemented this feature here, even though I'm about done working on EID in its current incarnation.

The good news for me, is that it involves less HTML code each time I link to something!

You can test the new feature with this link to Dial M For Maxwell.
