Ok.. Why isn't target=_blank a valid tag/attribute in XHTML Strict? It's a necessity really if your going to link so why not.??
How so? It is the user's choice if she wants to stay on your page (and shift click the link) or not, it is not yours to demand. You cannot expect the user agent to support several windows or the user to be able to deal with them, not all people see pages or use a mouse. XHTML strict is not only enforcing strict XML syntax, it is also taking HTML to an application level. For framesets, where it is a necessity you have XHTML Frameset as the Doctype. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
