window.onload=function(){
setOnClick();
}

function setOnClick() {
if(!document.getElementsByTagName) {
return;
}
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=anchors.length; i !=0; i--) {
var a=anchors[i-1];
if (a.rel.indexOf("external") != -1) {
a.onclick = function(){newWin(this.href,'popup1',700,400);
return false;}
}
}
