Anyone know why the first target tag on my page (no matter where or how many occur) triggers an error whenever I try to validate?

I'm using xhtml 1.0 strict and everything clears except this.

Is it a bug?

I think it's a validator error and target should never be valid for XHTML strict.

yeah, I miss it though. I figured out to open up a page with a frame to keep the client on my site but let them foray into another. Anyone know a better idea?

Don't use strict? Use transitional?

transitional feels doomed to me. Like I'm buyign a 16 year old dog when i could just buy a puppy

Feel doomed? Why is that? Many sites out there use transitional. There's nothing wrong with that.

Transitional implies temporary and short-lived. It exists and a bridge between what was and what will be.

I'd rather just cross the bridge than to camp out in the middle of it.

Fair enough.
Perhaps over the other side of the bridge, target="xxx" doesn't exist...
You'll either have to camp out in the middle, or don't use target at all.

AH! I suppose you could use javascript to do that for you.

This might just solve all your xhtml strict woes!
