Hi all,
With the XHTML Strict DTD, forcing a new window to open for a link via
target=_blank is not a valid semantic method anymore. I myself believe
that whether to open in a new or current window should be user decision,
not wed designer/developer. If I am using Strict DTD, the only way to
So what argument should I give to my clients not to use
target=_blank ? If I say that won't validate your page, they won't
care. So any non-technical argument that I can give to them?

The best non-technical argument I can think of is that this approach
breaks the back button. Jakob

Users can choose to open a new window or tab if they want to (though many
will need to be taught this). If the choice is made for them by implementing
the target attribute, the power of choice and preference is taken from them
and it's irretrievable.
Personally I prefer links to open in the
How about asking the client if they want a 'modern' web site or an
old-fashioned one? Assuming they ask for the former, then inform them
that it is not possible to have pop-up windows of any kind. Also mention
pop-up blockers and ask if they want to be 'that kind of site'

Wow, that's very well said, especially your clarification of the
relationship dynamics between the website and the visitor.

I'm not advocating popup windows, but with a simple script is very easy to open

I think it is valid, but this will change in HTML5 if I'm correct. In
