[css-d] HTML questions: link Target, and generic Back

Sent by Tuttle Grey on 22 April 2002 16:04


TARGET ATTRIBUTE
In earlier versions of HTML, one could use the Target attibute to specify 
window behavour for a link. For instance, <A href=foo.htm" target="new"> 
would open the link in a new window. "Target" is not a valid attribute in 
HTML 4 Strict, so what is the replacement method?

BACK
Is there a generic way to send a user's browser back to the previous page 
from which he arrived at the current page?

I'm creating an information page that my site visitors may arrive at from 
many different pages by clicking on a link. Each of those links would go to 
this common page. I'd like to give them an easy way to return to the page 
they just came from, by click on a "Back" link, but of course I won't know 
which page they came from. Is there a generic way of telling a browser to 
execute its own "Back" command?
