Re: Reason For Links Opening In New Window

Just an FYI, in xHTML 1.x the target attribute in a link is deprecated.
I've had some success with a Javascript solution that I reference

also degrades gracefully when Javascript is disabled.

I stay away from popups, but I've found that when building applications (not
web sites) that having popups or new windows for items such as pick lists
sometimes is much preferable than opening the links in the same window.
