jQuery Unobtrusive Ajax in ASP.NET MVC 3
Let’s talk today a little bit about very useful and easy to use in MVC 3 jQuery library called jQuery.Ajax.Unobtrusive. With a MVC 1 and 2 Microsoft provide library to work with AJAX requests.

External links in new window using jQuery
Instead of using each time attribute target="_blank" for hyperlinks you can use jQuery.
$().ready(function () {
$('a[href^=http]').addClass('external').attr('target', '_blank');
