Thanks for the script, it works great.
@barry Laminack: it works as well as in post or widget. The problem maybe the name of updated script that we download is jquery_externalLinks.js but on the example on how to put code reference to the header.php is .
Script name with s – jquery_externalLinks.js
Code reference w/o s – jquery_externalLink.js

You may have another javascript that is incompatible with this script. Or it may not be enqueing properly. Can you see the link to the script in the source code of your header?

Thanks for you work on this script, it’s a great idea!
