Target=_blank
Here’s another one the validator will reject: target="_blank". The only way (that I’ve found) around it is to use a little Javascript in the head section. I found this on the web, somewhere:
<script type="text/javascript">
function externalLinks() {
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++) {
var anchor = anchors[i];
if (anchor.getAttribute("href") &&
anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "external")
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}
window.onload = externalLinks;
</script>
…and then use rel='external' in links, when opening a new browser window is desired.
