Which version? I stopped using it at MX. You can tick 'Make all document XHTML compliant' somewhere in preferences.
As for open target in new window, if I want a new window, how can I achieve it with strict?

There was the exact same discussion a few weeks ago on this board. Javascript was the main option (didn't pay much attention though). Do a search in the list for XHTML (OT??) on 7 Feb.
I guess�is preferences really although I do notice lots of website do not open up in new window but I will always open those links up in new windows as I prefer to have the original page there to refer back to. So to open links up�in new windows or not is�still a question to me�cause I prefer new window. But I will try to please the majority :)�

No Worries. They are all pretty simple, and pretty minor.

There is no language attribute in XHTML strict, so you should remove
the language="javaScript" bit

Again, there is no name attribute, use id instead

Get rid of border="0" and set this in your css

No target attribute. Get rid of this (opening up new windows is
annoying anyway)

�
no hspace attribute. With XHTML strict you should really be aiming to
move all presentational html into your css, so trash this as well.
