[DJW:] A more accurate description of the situation is, like frames, they have never been part of the preferred version of any W3C reccommendation. In general, you will never find out why W3C made a decision, but target is generally associated with frames and undesirable frame-like behaviour (documents that cannot be specified by a simple URL). One might argue a case for allowing target="_top", because it can undo the damage caused by being framed in. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
