I’v read along the way on other solution for this.They used DTD as an extension with the Strict DTD already defined. Any comment about that?

Thanks for the help! I’ve been needing this information. I wish they would have just kept the target attribute. Sure would be easier.

Steve, if you ever come back, use < and > instead of < and >. Since you’re displaying the characters themselves on the page, not using them, you want to use the html entity sequences.

Anybody know how to get around the XHTML validation requirement that you can’t put an “a” tag inside a text box (for easily copying text for someone to link to your site? If so please post. Many thanks…

I meant to say:

<a”window.open(this.href,’_blank’);return false;” href=”http://some_oother_site.com”>Some Other Site</a>

Apologies for the previous comment — my 2-year old son got to the keyboard…

Anyway, another way of doing it is

Some Other Site

(spotted on http://www.phpfreaks.com/quick.....ve/231.php)

But I think I prefer the method referred to here.

Well, I suppose we could use XHTML Transitional instead…but why would we want to do that

(Before anyone starts a rant about Strict vs. Transitional, keep in mind we’re talking about blogs here…which tend to be more cutting edge. Using Transitional on a commercial site is, in many cases, the better choice.)

The best method is just to define a new DTD with the attribute you need.
