>From my brief testing, _tab opens a new window so it should be backwards compatible. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jo?o Eiras <joao.eiras@gmail.com> To: Borek Bernard <borekbe at yahoo.co.uk>; whatwg at lists.whatwg.org Sent: Tuesday, 10 June, 2008 6:03:51 PM Subject: Re: [whatwg] Proposal: target="_tab" This approach however has two problems: - user agent that don't support _tab which would have to interpret as _blank, or _self, so this case need to be predicted in the spec, if any - that value is not backwards compatible. I'd expect for an user agent that does not support tabs to open a new window, but a unknwon target opens in the same window, so you'll probably will have to make up something different.
