This has been discussed previously on this list. The idea is that the 'target' attribute defines presentational characteristics of the page, not semantic information. Since XHTML tries to be solely semantic, this is the reason for the removal. I can't see any other mechanism for doing this (other than resorting to JavaScript window.open() ). You're probably right in that this is currently the only way to have an XHTML page and handle window opening. Maybe CSS 3 changes this, but of course, but we probaby won't see that for a couple years (if ever). -- Frank Tobin http://www.neverending.org/~ftobin/
