Michael said, <blockquote> Technique 10.1.A - Check anchors for 'new window' attributes Trigger if A|AREA has any TARGET attribute, which will always open a new window unless there exists a window in another frame with that name. Plus always for "_blank" and "_new" as shown. </blockquote> I have reworked it to read: Technique 10.1.1 [priority 1] Check A and AREA elements for valid "target" attributes Discussion Status: awaiting discussion @@ how do we handle the "until user agents" clause? Evaluation: A and AREA elements should not have "target" attributes of "_blank" or "_new". A and AREA elements may have other "target" attribute values if there is another existing window with the target name. Example Language: This Anchor element [anchor text] will open a new window that can be disorienting for some users. Repair Technique: Allow the user to remove the "target" attribute or use an existing window as the target. -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /--
