Where do I place _blank in HTML?

[freecybermag]

Hi all

If I place an affiliate HTML code on my web page, can anyone tell me where I can place "_blank" in the html so that it opens in a new window?

Cheers

Chris

Just to be pedantic, target is no longer valid in XHTML. It still works, but just something to be aware of.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

What should be used instead, Tom?

Thanks for the advice.

Still a lit bit stuck though. Can you show me maybe in red font where to place it in the code below.





Cheers all

Only strict xhtml doesnt like target, transitional it's still ok.

You'd use JavaScript, Eagle. WC3 deprecated the use of target for XHTML, and it caused a rather big worry over how to open pages in new windows. Admittedly, you can turn off JavaScript, so you can't say it's perfect.

What a great page!

whats the correct xhtml compliant way of doing it?

 

[creospace]

depends as I've said compliant at transitional level is ok , at a strict level then see above but like mac says people can turn off java.

*at the risk of starting a whole compliancy argument.

Transitional is good for what your doing cybermag.

It also annoys me cos with _blank I can still open it in a new tab in Safari, but with the XHTML 1.0/1.1 Strict version, regardless of what I try, it opens in a new window. Such is life.
