Dave,
>Well, Are there alternatives for target="_blank" without using Javascript?
No, there isn't. This is generally known as a "Good Thing". If you aren't
using frames, it's up to the *user* to decide where he/she wants to place
your link's target - either in the original window, or a new one.
>How about using javascript but still using regular <a href> elements so if
>JS is disabled, links still function sans pop-up?
Easy. In fact, I don't understand why this isn't used for *all* JavaScript
"enhanced" (<cough />) links. It's simple:
<a href="http://www.bar.net/" onclick="foo">baz</a>
Just replace the "foo" with your irritating JavaScript.
Before I go, I should point out that this is off-topic for CSS-D. If you
have any further questions, ask me (or someone else that responds) off-list,
or, better yet, redirect your question to a list which is designed for such
questions, such as webdesign-l <http://www.webdesign-l.org/> or thelist
<http://www.evolt.org/>
