I know, the title is a bit misleading, but: 

I am getting a resource from outside and I am feeding my page with this it, like news, videos, etc.

Now, all links in those feeds are not 'target\_blank'ed, I tried to make all links `target="_blank"` in this way: 

```
$(function(){
  $('.newstext').find('a').attr('target','_blank');
});

```

But the links are still opening in the same tab. 

The code of a link looks like this (after I added target\_blank with jQuery): 

```
<a href="someurl" rel="nofollow" onclick="spotonTrackOutboundLink(this.href); return false;" target="_blank">
   some text about this link
</a>

```

Why is it still opening in the same tab? Am I missing something? is it because of `return false;` ?
