in reply to Making off site links a little better

Nobody's said this explicitly, but it's officially bad to force-open links in new windows -- the TARGET attribute is deprecated in HTML 4 and only valid in the Loose DTD.

    I'm just wondering where you read this. I'm looking at the HTML 4.01 spec and I don't see TARGET listed as depreciated. It's a necessary part of the Frameset DTD after all...

    Can you point me to where you read this? I'm not trying to be inflammatory, I honestly want to know.
