I am posting on a regular basis and yet keeping to the rules which is so important nowadays.

Guess i was to used to right click the links I see to have it "open in a new tab" that I did not consider the other "consequences" :-) But for me, I still open all the links I see in a new tab because I always get carried away while browsing the new page that I usually forget to go back to the originating page. In fact I set my Firefox to "open all new links in a new tab" so I can easily switchback and forth. Anyway, that was great info and I will consider twice before inserting the target="_blank" in future postings. Thanks. Frank C, LOL, we have the same habit! Darran, Wo, I did not go that deep to consider that aspect. Anyway, I think the moment we start posting many things already happened to screw up validation. From what I understand, flash videos like those from YouTube is also a big culprit. It would really be stressful to post if I was to keep to those strict rules. :-) </b>

Target="_blank" does not validate your site as XHTML Strict 1.0, a base I want my site to be adhering to. The reason why people or at least myself do not open new windows is because of the standards.

Also, they can't simply hit their browser's back button to get back to your site, they have to close the window. Which is awkward.

Since I use either IE7 with IE7Pro or Firefox 2.0 I set them to open new windows in a new tab instead. I also usually just scroll wheel click links to open them in a new tab anyway.
