CSS & HTML QUESTION??? I'm using CSS to code a web page....?

Question

I want some links in my page to open in a new window. So, i'm using "target=_blank" with 'a' element. While checking the code with dreamweaver, its giving the result- "target attribute is not a valid xhtml.."
How can I code it in CSS. I don't know the code. Please help

Answer 1

Copy this code and save as external.js (a javascript program) in an external file:

function externalLinks() {
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i var anchor = anchors[i];
if (anchor.getAttribute("href") &&
anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "external")
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}
window.onload = externalLinks;

Then load on every page in the , like this:


Then when you want to have something open in a new window, write it like this:

YourLink

That should do it!

Answer 2

You could use this:

onclick="window.open(this.href , '_blank'); return false;"
href="http://some_site.com">Some Site

(Sorry for the splitted code but the entry was getting cutted by the terrible 3 dots ... )

XHTML will not validate the target="_blank" so you have to do some scripting in javascript.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Well... you should copy paste the lines of code with the problem for better answers...

I'll just guess you're writing "target=_blank" ...
The code should go like this-
