Hi, mrvideo/vidiot.com (also there is a note at the bottom regarding an
error on a w3c page).
I do not know the answer to your question, am not with w3c, but know there
are pretty standard targets (I thought)
'top' 'main' 'parent' 'new' (new is a nasty thing as it keeps opening a new
window which is almost like having a virus; I have had some problems with
'parent' but I assume it's me)
mozilla won't open new windows without the viewer's permission, but it will
if the viewer gives it permission. (Not so bad)
But, if you are hosted at yahoo/geocities then of course target does not
work properly; when you type a url and a target this causes the page to
reload in both the target window and the original window, slowing everything
down (but some people do not know how to navigate with a back button and
also sometimes you have notes about a page and it's nice to have two
windows, so this is the only place I can think of where I need a solution;
I've posted to yahoo)
{I'm more interested in knowing more about the pseudo-element :target { and
:not(:target) } I guess and there are a few things specified but I do want
to know if anyone knows off-hand if you can use those with non-block
elements such as table cell elements (such as td as opposed to only row
elements like tr)???? Does anyone know this?

Also I think there is an error on a test page for the psuedo-element
:target:
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS3/Selectors/20021129/html/full/flat/css3-modsel-21c.html
(error: needs to say "This page should be red." not "green" I think)}

Steven:
The FAQ regarding the TARGET attribute, especially when used with ANCHOR
<A>,
has caused a discussion between me and another coder.
The are so many pieces of documentation on W3.org that it is extremely
to find what I am looking for.
The FAQ implies that no HTML strict definition ever contained TARGET.
I'm assuming that this even means HTML 3.2. If that is the case, how
can it be in 4.01 transitional, when there was never a TARGET to transition
from?
We are totally confused about the use of TARGET in <A>.
Here is the other part that we can't figure out. TARGET is very popular
with <A> usage. Yet it appears to have not been part of an official HTML
definition. Why wasn't it adopted? There certainly isn't an easy way to
bring up a new page/tab in a browser when using <A>, other than with the
TARGET attribute. The person I am talking with uses Javascript, but that
is
not 100% compatible between browsers.
We'd like to know the thinking behind the non TARGET <A> attribute. Maybe
the FAQ entry could be expanded to include the answers for the above
questions, or include reference links to documents that do explain the
issue with TARGET.
Thanks.
