Note that target="_blank" is
deprecated and will invalidate any xhtml.
It is a decision of the W3C that
target="_blank" is not used because
it breaks the 'back' button in
the browser and is a handicap for
both visually and physically
disabled users. It is much better to provide
an explanation somewhere that the
user is leaving the main site, usually
this can be done in the alt and
title tags of the link. This gives the
user the option of right click
> open in new window if they want to.
Using something like
<a rel="external" href=""http://someothersite.com">http://someothersite.com" alt="external
link" title="you are now leaving
thissite.com">someothersite</a>
might be
better.

Ah! I see, My IDE is not allowing it,
checking the 2.0 dtd and not letting me save, thinking it is not properly
formatted. I'll have to work around that.
THanks!!!!!!

Hi
Just tested this:
http://forrest.apache.org/dtdx/document-v20.html#link-class
doesn't accept target param in formats:
<a class="fork"
href=""> <../index.html>
<a class="jump"
href=""> <../index.html>
for Document
V2.0.
This is key for branding one site and offering a link to another
while not directing user off the original site.
I don't
understand your problem. I thought you originally you said you want to
create an <a> link with target="_blank" in your output.
The
above page describes exactly how to do that. If you look at the generated
source for this page you will see that <a class="fork"
href=""> in the input XDoc gets translated to <a
target="_blank" class="fork" href=""> in the output HTML.
Isn't this what you want? If not please explain exactly what your
problem is because I must have misunderstood your problem.
