I've searched on the board for this and read the solution for the gallery credit addressed with that nifty javascript solution, but I did not find an answer as to why bbcode for url calls in file descriptions are calling links as "self" (in effect) instead of "_blank" style (in effect).
I'm building a gallery with 1.4 at this url:
http://www.aeronauticpictures.com/royalty-free-stock-footage/index.phpIt uses QuickTime files with matching thumbs. I've got it playing a short QT file as a brief preview but want to link to a full length QT file that I'd like to open in a stand alone player from the description text linked with the url code as shown on that page.
Using the code below, it simply links to an embedded player in whatever browser the user operates.
I've also got a call to a stand alone purchase page (html) until I test the paypal mod. That too I'd like to open in a new window - leaving my customer on the product page.
Here is the exact code from the description field:
[b]Exploring the history of aviation from 1900 to the 1930s[/b]

The issue I've got with (I think) with the javascript solution is that it would change all domain based links to external calls if this portion were set thus:
if (anchor.getAttribute("href") == "http://www.aeronauticpictures.com/")
anchor.target = "_blank";
Or could I set this to both, say, a /mov/ url for the long form previews and another path for purchase pages like /buy/ ?
Many thanks!
