target

Hi folks,

I must say that despite this being a newb question, I don't think I have totally mastered HTML a tags.

Whenever I want to open a link in a new tab I add target="_blank", works fine in chrome and firefox. Not in IE7-8.

I think the behaviour might have something to do with the DOCTYPE, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm currently using HTML 4.01 Strict.

Right now what I am trying to understand is:

How to open links in new tabs in IE7-8
How to open links within small windows

alt text

Help would be very much appreciated! :)
