You can try assigning the value of the textarea to a hidden div. Then you'll
have access to jQuery's functions on the HTML:
var html = $('#content').val();
var div = $('<div />').css({display: 'none'});
div.html(html);
div.find('a[target]').removeAttr('target');
Then replace the textarea with the html contents of the div:
var filtered = div.html();
$(#content).val(filtered);
