Hello Peter! Sure you can use target in a link (as you can use any other non-standard elements in your pages) but it's not valid according to the HTML 4.01 Strict DTD. As for the error message, it is correct. If you do not wish to see it, refrain from using the target attribute. Many people find its effect more or less irritating anyway (in case of frames using target is understandable, but HTML 4.01 Strict is not the DTD to use then) or run the validation against HTML 4.01 Transitional.
