TARGET="_top" in strict HTML ?

[Arthur Connor]

Currently I specified a TARGET attribute inside an <A> tag which is not allowed under strict XHTML.
How do I change the line to meet the requirements of strict HTML?

<A HREF="http://www.targetedoma in.com/" TARGET="_top">. ..</A>

If you are using frames, use a transitional doctype for the documents loaded
into the frames (or resort to unreliable JavaScript).

.... and correct the case of your tags and attributes. <a href, not <A HREF.

Please fix your newsreader to wrap lines in messages you compose to 65
characters or so. Thank you.

Why do you do this?
which is not allowed under strict XHTML.
Correct. You could change the dtd to a transitional one, to
accomodate the markup you use.

Remove the target attribute.

Missed the xhtml thing. I never touch the stuff, myself.

You remove the target attribute, of course.

If you mean, is there another HTML way to hijack the user's desktop
by opening extra windows, the answer is No. You'd have to go to
Javascript, accepting that quite a lot of us have turned off JS in
response to such antics.

You cannot. Strict HTML/XHTML assumes you've already thrown away cruft like
frames. Either lose the frames or go back to Transitional.

Remove the target attribute, or use a loose DTD. If it's a frames site. And
my unsolicited comment is that friends don't let friends use frames.

If it's not a frames site, still remove the target, because (1) new windows
for links are a sign that the web author thinks more highly of his site than
the user's desires and (2) as more and more people block popups, the link
will be killed anyhow. I request users open some links in a new window, but
even if they don't they do have the Back button to come back to my site.
