Hmm, the target="_new" and target="_blank" as well as TARGET="new-window" all seem to do the same thing for me in mozilla, which one is the preferable thing to do?
:confused: It is a mystery, so many options.

Certainly. All of these values are correct and can be validated. I just use the '_blank' value, just in case and because it's what I first learned.

Here are some of the reasons why I prefer XHTML to plain HTML:
1) XHTML is more strict and thus more clean than HTML. It helps me keep the code more consistent and free of those awful non-standard tags that you come across in badly-written HTML pages.
2) It's easier to maintain, update and edit because of the above.
3) It's easier to format with CSS.
4) It's also easier to adapt for systems like handhelds etc.
There are of course other reasons, but these were only the most important ones.
I agree however, that there are still some shortcomings as well as drawbacks in XHTML 1.0, but I believe that these are completely justifiable. Keep in mind that XHTML is only a step in the transition from HTML to XML.
HTML on the other hand had become really unorganized and messy with a lot of open tags and so on. That was until HTML 4.01 where things became a bit more strict, but still not even close to what XHTML offers.
I'm also certain that the support for XHTML will get better in future web browsers so there's really no need to worry about that.

I wish they'd just keep it the same. :mad:
