HTML is not a programming language, it's a markup language, so it's not a command either, it's an attribute. There are alternatives involving scripting you can use that would still allow your document to pass validation, however, I don't recommend these either because it should be the user that decides to open a new window, not the author. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/ http://GetFirefox.com/ Rediscover the Web http://GetThunderbird.com/ Reclaim your Inbox
