Hi there - just to say that I had to change my doctype from XHMTL strict to transitional as the target="_blank" did not validate.
If you check an XHML Strict document with the following code, the W3C Validator shows this error message: "Error Line 5 column 26: there is no attribute "target". <a href="index.php" target="_blank">index</a> You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead)." Summary - if you want to use the target function, you need to go for XHMTL Transitional (or Frameset) for it to validate. Hope this helps to explain! regards, Edith PS: hope this isn't off-topic!
