I liked the funtionality of target="_blank", so people that are unaware of
how to open a link in a new tab (of which I've seen a lot recently) get to
open certain pages that way. This can be useful on my pages like
'Callanwolde'. Click on it and then again on the map and you will get a
huge one that's covering the complete browser window.

Now when you do a right-click you'll get a context menu that has no back
button at the top of it cause you're hovering over an image. Thus you can't
go back as fast you could usually (except of course you know the keyboard
shortcuts which differ from browser to browser). IMO that's a flaw in
browser design: back and forward should be atop of any context menu.
That's debatable. A *context* menu lists commands that are meaningful in
the *context* of the item that's been clicked or selected. The browser
continues to have a Back button and such features as View Source are
still available from the menu. I acknowledge the possible usefulness of
having the page-related links anyway, but in Firefox the image context
menu already has at least eight commands, and the menu for a hyperlinked
image has 14, so one could argue that the menu is already as long as it
can be while remaining practical.

Since they aren't I would like to have the option to open a link in a new
tab (to be closed with ALT+W in all browsers) but apparently it's no longer
supported in strict HTML, is it? So can I mimic it?
There is no way *at all* to specify in HTML that a document will open in
a new tab as opposed to the current tab or a new window. When a
straightforward click results in a new tab, it's because the user has
configured his browser to treat requests for a new window that way.
What is Alt-W? In Windows, the standard key combination for closing a
document window within an application has always been Ctrl-F4.

Secondly, since I've read conflicting statetments: does the favicon.ico
still have to be placed in the root dir or can it be put into an image
folder with a relative reference? TIA!
For a browser that looks for
http://www.example.com/favicon.ico, the
icon has to be located at
http://www.example.com/favicon.ico. If you're
using a meta tag to indicate the location of the icon, then it has
always been fine to have it located anywhere with a URL, but then
browsers that use
http://www.example.com/favicon.ico won't find it. I
don't know for what browsers and versions that's a concern.
