Greetings, I'm using an RSS feed from the New York Times and right now the a href link takes the user to the same window.
I'd like the link to open in it's own window by using the target .html attribute. I was hoping that I could use the eregi_replace() call by inserting: <a href="http://\\0";>target="_blank">\\0</a> where it matches any character between the <link></link> string in the URL. However it is not working for me. Viewing the xhtml of thr NY Times feed below, there are many areas of <links></links> so I'm not sure whether this is the correct way to go. Any leads or assistance will be greatly appreciated.
