Multiple-Target Hyperlinks for the Masses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lobby-the-slash-coders-forever dept.

DukunSakti writes "For a long time people have talked about getting browser support for multilink feature. A multilink is a link that points to more than one targets. It's useful because many times a single target is not sufficient to describe a link. Wikipedia has numerous examples of acronyms and abbreviations that expand to more than one term. Well, I got sick of waiting, and so I wrote a plugin for the excellent Wiki application PmWiki that adds the multilink feature. This is fully supported under Mozilla Firefox, but only partially under Internet Explorer."

      All of those [slashdot.org]s next to your links make your post look more like subliminal advertising than it should.

    Now /. readers will be able to /. not just one website with a single click, but many websites also with a single click.

    And BTW, be careful of Jeff Bezos coming right after you for this obvious - Single Click Amazon IP violation.

      Now /. readers will be able to /. not just one website with a single click, but many websites also with a single click.

      I believe the Slashdot way of handling multilinks is to repost the same story (called "dupes") and changing link targets in each "dupe"...

    Become a paying subscriber to Slashdot, and you, too, will get the privilege of reading the stories before they are posted. Then, you can also have the luxury of sitting back and penning a well thought out "first post".

    Err... one bug fix:
    popup.innerHTML = "";
    for(var i=0; i<array.length; i++)
    {
    popup.innerHTML += "<div><a href="'+array[i]+'"></a></div>
