I'm using <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> (xhtml strict doctype) for a site I'm designing and when I validated it, I found that you cannot have target="" included else it's not valid.
It then went on to say that I should use CSS to do this.
I want to make one link open in a new window (have the same effect as target="_blank" ) using CSS.
Can anybody help?
Regards,
Martin
this page would seem to say yes:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-hyperlinks/
bear in mind, most browsers have only got css2; and that specification seems to relate to css3.
you can do it with javascript if your stuck..
Thanks Matt,
I'll try it....

In the place of target, put...onclick="target='newwindow'".
Then it will pass strict validation.
