Howdy!
Pray, enlighten me then.
I use FireFox these days. What magic incantation do I perform to
make it ignore target?
Frankly, most sites that I deal with *don't* use that "feature".
In addition, I *do* often open links in new tabs. I'd be mostly
mollified if I could tell Firefox that "target=_blank" should
open a new tab.
...and, now that I've done a bit of research, I find that there
*is* and extension for Firefox that probably will do what I want,
and also that the Firefox team has considered the whole mess of
just *how* target should work with tabs and all that. If I read
it correctly, Firefox 1.5 may have improved control over this
matter.
Now, I'm not withdrawing my request to deprecate the use
of the target attribute. I didn't say "ban it outright". I started
with something less drastic. I'd like to see reasoned discussion
of the benefits of "target" in the context of links on PM.
