Hello. You've arrived at Téa's blog, where she likes to muse about her findings and observations from the world of fun graphics, the web, and whatever else that she finds inspiring (or annoying) enough to post about.
In other words, you get all of Téa's verbal offerings here, as opposed to the usual resource downloads that can be found on the main part of this site.

The new window of doom
Posted on October 22, 2006 at 09:50 pm under Tea's Musings
I understand the desire to insert target="_blank” into links that takes visitors off a website- really, I do. Site owners often want visitors to remain on their site even if they’re clicking links to take them elsewhere, so what better way than to force a new browser window to open when the link is clicked? Off they go, here they stay, and you win, yes?
Not for me, you don’t. I personally would rather be given the choice to open a new tab or window if I see the need to do so. But that’s possibly a different debate altogether, and I also won’t bother getting into the fact that the target attribute doesn’t validate for XHTML 1.0 Strict or 1.1. Nevermind all that.
