As far as I know the "_new" target is a real name target.
so if you had opened a "_new" window, if you click on another target="_new" 
the new window goes to the opened "_new" window overwritting what it was.



As far as I know the "_blank" target is a reserved name target.
so if you had opened "_blank" window, if you click on another target="_blank" 
the new window goes to ANOTHER "_blank" window leting the other opened.


Very clear.  Thanks.

The HTML 5.2 specification says the same thing but with far more detail
(many more words) plus some new features.

In any case, a target name with a leading underscore (_) is only allowed
in HTML 4.1 for the four reserved names.  Any other target name
beginning with a leading underscore is ignored (invalid).  In HTML 5.2,
the underscore is called a "low line character" and is also not allowed
except for the four reserved names.

target="_blank" vs. target="_new"

[EE]

What is the difference between target="_blank" and target="_new"?  I presume 
that there must be some difference, otherwise both would not exist together.
Does target="_blank" make it easier to do exploits against browsers than 
target="_new"?
