<i>
</i>&lt;a href="somepage.html" onclick="window.open('somepage.html','new','');return false"&gt;

@h2g-vakaauthorNov 27.2010 — This is strange. W3C validator warned me just about one link in wich i have used "target:_blank". And i have used it on few links more. Then i used javasript on this one link and W3C validator successfully validate my code.

Bug in validator or what?

@CharlesNov 27.2010 — Bug in validator or what?[/QUOTE]Not a bug at all. The "target" attribute is only valid with transitional and frameset DTDs. And we're not supposed to be using the transitional DTDs anymore so unless you are using frames it's long past time to switch to the JavaScript method.
