Target problem

Linux OS
php 4.3.2
Apache 2 (not sure of minor version)
MS IE

Hello. I've been working on converting my website from html to php, but have run into a VERY strange problem. (I am VERY new to php).

I attach links to several graphics on my homepage using: .

The problem is that when I converted to php, my target value only works once. What I mean to say is this:

1. I open my browser, and it goes to my homepage.

2. I click on a link and a new window opens, as per the HREF TARGET=_BLANK in the tag.

3. I go back to my homepage, and click on another link that uses HREF TARGET=_BLANK.

4. The linked clicked on in step 3 loads in the instance of my browser from step 2. All clicks from my homepage will load into exactly ONE external browser window. No additional windows are opened, even though I might click on six external links. It just loads the new pages into the browser instance from step 2. I've never heard of this happening, let along experience it.

I could sure use some help. Thanks.

Try changing _BLANK to _NEW, also try putting those target names in quotes

Try making it not caps, and put it in quotes:

<a href="http://example.com" target="_blank">Blah</a>

That works for me. See also: http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/target.html

......I'm so new at php I thought it was a php problem.

Seems it was the fact that, as gear pointed out, I had the keyword 'blank' in caps.

Someone PM'd me and said 'remove the caps, use lower and it should work'.

It did, and sorry for cluttering the php forum with a n00b html question.

thoch next time you can try the client side board ;)
