So something like
<a href="http://www.someite.com";>Some External Site</a>
<a href="http://www.someotherite.com";>Some External Site 2</a>
<a href="/someotherpage.htm">Some Internal Page</a>
//This would pop an alert box that they must click to continue
$("a").click(function() {
var ref = this.href.toLowerCase();
if (ref.substr(0, 7) == "http://";) {
alert("You are leaving the site.....");
}
});
--- or. more like you asked about ---
//This would use BlockUI to show a disclaimer for 3 seconds
$("a").click(function() {
var ref = this.href.toLowerCase();
if (ref.substr(0, 7) == "http://";) {
$.blockUI({ message: "You are leaving this site....." });
setTimeout('window.location = " + ref + "', 3000);
return false;
}
});
And both of those would leave "inside" links alone
