Just a quick one:
I'm HTMLing again, and want to use special target names in my anchor tags, _blank, _top etc.
Just wanted to check with you guys that they have adequate browser support.
Thanks

Excellent. Good enough is good enough.

JavaScript, not Java.
But you won't really need it, as the only reason you would use the target attribute in a single page is to open a web site in a new browser.
Browsers will no doubt support the tag for a long time, so you really don't need to worry about it not working down the line.
It's only if you're the sort of person who writes W3C standard code, which a hell of a lot of people don't.

Ouch. So some time in the next few years I'll have to learn java?

Allow me to amend that last post.
The 'Target' attribute is no longer legal code in single HTML Web Pages (like this one), but is in Frameset pages.
Sorry for any confusion.

They are officially being fizzled out by the W3C, although I can't remember the reasons (something about new windows being JavaScript areas and HTML & xHTML are references to the current browser window). However, they used to be standard, fully supported HTML specified attributes, so you can use them freely with the knowledge that they will work fine now, and most likely for a while longer yet.
To open the link in a new browser window.
- To open the link in the current window.
- To open the link in the parent frameset.
- To open the link in the current window, overriding any framesets.
- To open the link in the frame with the same name.

Heh. Fair enough. My big html book didn't comment, and since I usually just use a random target name to open a new window I thought I should check this time.

They're used on every site I've ever seen.
So I'd guess yeah. They're pretty basic tags, like tags...
