Add target="_blank" to external links with pure JavaScript.
function targetBlank() {
// remove subdomain of current site's url and setup regex
var internal = location.host.replace("www.", "");
internal = new RegExp(internal, "i");
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); // then, grab every link on the page
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
var href = a[i].host; // set the host of each link
if( !internal.test(href) ) { // make sure the href doesn't contain current site's host
a[i].setAttribute('target', '_blank'); // if it doesn't, set attributes
