The company I work for builds online financial systems, such as credit card, loans and investments. We use target="_blank" for pages such as Privacy Policy, FAQs, etc as the application process is a secure session - our clients want customers to complete the application and not navigate away from the secure session.

Interesting (and I can confirm that this happens, too, at least concerning the Transitional or Strict choice), but we might want to focus on more education concerning links in new windows instead, outlining the disadvantages of this practice. Also, I am not sure if we could really only "make target="_blank" conforming"; ad hoc, I do not remember similar cases that "legitimate" just a certain attribute/value combination (and implicitly discourage from using others)? -- Jens Meiert http://meiert.com/en/ _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by Verizon Business Internet Managed Scanning Services - powered by MessageLabs.
