Any of these should work: <h:outputLink target="_new" value="url"><h:outputText value="text"></h:outputLink> <h:commandLink target="_new" value="link name"/> <h:commandButton target="_new" value="button text" type="submit"/>
I am not sure what output the target creates. If it uses "target" then beware of XHTML strict as the target attribute is only to be found in the transitional (or loose?). On a side note, any know why XHTML strict is removing all frame, iframe, and window support? What is the recommended way in XHTML for including sub-pages? -Andrew On 12/7/05, Bobby Rosenberger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Andrew, > > Thanks for the response, (jenia looks interesting) but my current problem > space is more basic.
