Re: Target attribute on submission and load element

Steven,

Can you put this on the agenda for next call.

Do we add target attribute to submission and load element? If yes what are the values defined in the spec? Do we make the value space compatible with HTML5?

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/links.html#attr-hyperlink-target
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/browsers.html#valid-browsing-context-name-or-keyword

In the spec

Kind regards,

Nick,

I would also add it to load for consistency. It's similar to the JavaScript `window.open()` which also takes a name parameter (although this should be used rarely), and there is nothing load can do (except @show) which submission can't do.

Erik,

Just to be clear, do you propose adding @target on submission element AND load action?

Nick,

I don't think target="new" is right. It was a placeholder for the
topic to discuss. The original request doesn't mention "new". [1]

I can see a double reason to use @target instead of @show:

- it's compatible with HTML
- it allows you to target a named tab/window ("browsing context" in
HTML parlance [2])

In other words, @target is a superset of @show.

Contrary to what the minutes say, @target doesn't seem to be
deprecated in HTML5. At least I don't see any mention of that.

So I would use @target.

All,

I have action https://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/xforms/actions/1909 to add
a target attribute on submission and load element supporting value 'new'.
But we already have a 'show' attribute with value 'new' on the load element.

Shouldn't we add a 'show' attribute on submission then?
