Well its more a hobby than a job... I do work - but its not my primary source of income - that's the parents :) I still live at home - im 18 and just began university (telecommunications engineering @ UTS)
But that's true - if they click out of your website, they will probably get lost in a myriad of of links and popups, they will forget there name - let alone your website. That's why all offsite links are new window links. :) ----------------------------- Chris Stratford [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.neester.com ----------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Michael Zeltner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Opening pages in new windows... was Re: [WSG] XHTML (OT??) i think it depends on how you see it. the customer (i presume this is your job) wants the user to stay on the site as long as possible. if a site opens in a new window, the possibility that user will browse his site again, is much higher than if he has just the back button. from the usability/information architecture point, the target="_blank" is rather bad imho. just my 0.02 euro ;) regards, michael -- niij <http://niij.org/> ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
