Re: [css-d] a html 4.01 strict problem

Hi jaklitsch maya,

You could use a java script
in the head put:
script type=text/javascript src=external.js
in the body where you want the link to open in a new window
a rel=external href=http://www.xxx.com/;xxx/a


the javascript sits in the same map as the html
is called external.js and it reads:


function externalLinks() {
 if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
 var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName
(a);
 for (var i=0; ianchors.length; i++) {
   var anchor = anchors[i];
   if (anchor.getAttribute(href) 
   anchor.getAttribute(rel) == external)

 anchor.target = _blank;
 }
}
window.onload = externalLinks;


It validates and it works

 I have several css books but none seem to deal with

Hi Maya,
The reason is that this problem cannot be solved with CSS.

There are JavaScript solutions. But, being a lazy sort of chap,
I simply add a footnote or sidenote to a PDF link informing the reader
how to open a new tab or window from their browser.

Let the user decide.  :)

Cordially,
David

And you probably also want to remove the problem by not trying to force 
a new window to open. Then what's left is JavaScript.

 It did say that there was a css solution,

No, you misunderstood. What it - presumably the W3C Markup Validator - 
said is this:

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, 
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both 
allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this 
attribute.

It does not claim that there is a CSS counterpart to every non-Strict 
attribute. For the target attribute, there isn't.
