Hi, I'm new to these forums and hope i put my posting in the right place.

In CKEditor i defined external links using the - attribute target="_blank".

So when i cklick on the link the external site is displayed in the same window (like "_self", which is the default). Simultaineously a new window pops up with the same content (like "_blank" - and that's what the link should do).

Using JavaScript to open a new window shows the same results. I get the content in the old and in the new window!

What's wrong? Spent hours to debug this problem.

thank's in advance

I'm having the same issue! Just posted a topic on it. Hopefully someone can clarify.

I have the same problem. It seems that it is caused by Google Analytics 6.x-3.2. If I disable 'Track outbound links' then target="_blank" works normally.

Thank you! I completely forgot I had updated that module as well.

Anyone has a fix where Google Analytics can still track clicks on outbound links?

Yes, I use External New Tab module on my sites: http://drupal.org/project/external

Tnx - that could have taken way longer than a little search to "resolve"

Thank you very much!

You are right, actually it was a Google Analytics problem.
I disabled "Track outbound links" and it works perfectly.

So what this Google module does is: it changes the HTML-source code from to . So some "quotes" get lost somewhere on their way from CKEditor to the final HTML-code in the page.

Sorry for the link to "mysite.com" in the previous reply. Forum software converted my example into a link.

Can someone add a link to the corresponding Google Analytics Module bug report?
