default link target

I'm looking for a way to do this as well. Anyone??

1) Open the file "fck_link.js"
(FCKeditor\editor\fck_link\fck_link.js)
2) Find the function "window.onload = function()"
3) At the bottom of that function add the line:
GetE('txtTargetFrame').value = '_blank' ;

It seems to be working...

Full function:

window.onload = function()
{
// Translate the dialog box texts.
oEditor.FCKLanguageManager.TranslatePage(document) ;

// Fill the Anchor Names and Ids combos.
LoadAnchorNamesAndIds() ;

// Load the selected link information (if any).
LoadSelection() ;

// Update the dialog box.
SetLinkType( GetE('cmbLinkType').value ) ;

// Show/Hide the "Browse Server" button.
GetE('divBrowseServer').style.display = FCKConfig.LinkBrowser ? '' : 'none' ;

// Show the initial dialog content.
GetE('divInfo').style.display = '' ;

// Set the actual uploader URL.
if ( FCKConfig.LinkUpload )
GetE('frmUpload').action = FCKConfig.LinkUploadURL ;

// Activate the "OK" button.
window.parent.SetOkButton( true ) ;

// FK: Force target to be "_blank"
GetE('txtTargetFrame').value = '_blank' ;
}

Why don't you set the base target for the page?

setting the default target for all links is basic html, not related at all with javascript.
google fot base target as this forum will mess the tags, but you just need to set in the head <base target="destination">

I am also trying to do this.

Does anybody have a method that is more standard and doesn't require modifying fckeditor code?

This will make upgrading much easier.
