I'd like to add to the msg below (which was eaten by a 'no subject' filter first time round) that attribute values only _must_ be quoted with certain DOCTYPES.
additionally the values can be quoted with single quotes, I'm 80% sure. I do know that using double quotes on attribute values in practice never causes a problem (I'm sure I read up on it years ago, can't remember the specifics :-S). additionally ALWAYS (depending on your situation this could be taken on per client/system/project basis) using either single OR double (not mixed!) for html attributes (the same goes for javascript or css, with regard to quotes) has a benefit when you spend lots of time writing things that generate [dynamic] html/js/css - the benefit being less 'mis-quote' bugs. rgds, Jochem -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [css-d] (no subject) Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2006 13:15:21 +0100 From: Jochem Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Maxwell Balmain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: [email protected] References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maxwell Balmain wrote: > Hi All, > > Quick question: I am converting some pages to to xhtml "strict" & > CSS.

'target' is an attribute of an anchor tag; you can still use it though all attribute values should be quoted i.e.: <a href="#test" target="_blank">click</a> not strictly anything to do with CSS (I trying to think if it's possible to define that certain [classes of] link should open in a new window using CSS - but I can't) > > Thanks, > > Max > > > > Maxwell Balmain > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
