RE: [WSG] Opening links in new window with XHTML

I agree with using transitional to port existing sites…  But for totally new sites I’m either in or I’m out – no point going halfway.

 

I think I’ll just leave it and they can use the middle-click if they want…

 

 

 

Thanks all,

Tat

Hi Tatham,

 

Of course, if you make it XHTML1.0 transitional, it'll be fine! 

 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

 

(Do you need the strict 1.1 in this case?)

All,

 

I’m trying to have a link open in a new window (like I’ve done a million times)… however the validator doesn’t like this.

 

If we don’t have the target attribute how are we supposed to do it now? Or aren’t we supposed to do it – and leave it up to the use agent?

 

This page is not Valid XHTML 1.1!

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML parser.
