You should notice the "L" in the DTD column of the list of attributes, which means that the attribute is available in the Loose DTD (i.e. Transitional DTD) but not available in the Strict DTD. The DTD fragments throughout the specification use fragments from the Strict DTD, that's why the DTD fragment in section 12.4 [1] doesn't list the target attribute and instead mentions it in "attributes defined elsewhere". > Also, the HTML Validator treats a > TARGET attribute within a BASE element as an error. I suppose you used the Strict DTD, not Transitional DTD. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.4 Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
