Targeting windows from Netscape
Laurels,
In yours, what new refences is a window name and as long as the equals sign is there, any window name will work which you are pointing out. The link above names a window as brad. <a href="http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/target.html" target="brad">
The "Magic" names work this way, and are particular to frames/iframes but work with windows as well. I started using _blank pretty uniformly as it works in both situations. Excerpted from the page referenced above:
Magic TARGET names
These names all begin with the underscore character. Any targeted window name beginning with underscore which is not one of these names, will be ignored.
TARGET="_blank"
This target will cause the link to always be loaded in a new blank window. This window is not named.
TARGET="_self"
This target causes the link to always load in the same window the anchor was clicked in. This is useful for overriding a globally assigned BASE target.
TARGET="_parent"
This target makes the link load in the immediate FRAMESET parent of this document. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document has no parent.
TARGET="_top"
This target makes the link load in the full body of the window. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document is already at the top. It is useful for breaking out of an arbitrarily deep FRAME nesting.
