XHTML and linking to a new window....

[CycoDude]

quick question (i hope!)
im playing around with an XHTML strict webpage. i made a link, and want it to open in a new browser window. normally you'ld just add a target="_blank" attribute to the anchor tag to do that. however, the target attribute isnt valid in XHTML stirct.
so my Q would be, how would i go about doing this w/o using the target attribute?

I'm really surprised about that.

Here is my suggestion :

<a href=&quot;normalURL.xhtml&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('normalURL.xhtml'); return false;&quot;>link description</a>

I hope this helps. Gary

just to make sure there is no confusion, the target=&quot;_blank&quot; attribute worked just fine, it just didnt validate when i went here:

BUT, your suggestion worked just the same and validated as XHTML 1.0 strict, so thank you very much LOL!!
