It's better to snip signatures.

Why don't you answer questions?  You seem to expect help without helping
us help you.  Do you know what the code you quoted does?  I ask because,
as written, it is certainly wrong.

Another problem is that you are not showing us the code that does what
you say.  Something is setting target = "_blank" for the sites you don't
want opened in a new window/tab.  It may be that the best solution is to
fix that code rather than to add more.
