The TARGET attribute is used with frames to specify in which frame the
link should be rendered. If no frame with such a name exists, the link
is rendered in a new window unless overridden by the user. Special frame
names begin with an underscore:
• _blank renders the link in a new, unnamed window
• _self renders the link in the current frame (useful for overriding a
BASE TARGET)
• _parent renders the link in the immediate FRAMESET parent
• _top renders the link in the full, unframed window
</quote>
In actual use with a Transitional or Strict doctype (not frames), the
'_parent' opens new pages in the same window or tab. Thus, deleting the
target-attribute altogether has exactly the same effect as keeping it,
as "same window/tab" is the default "unless overridden by the user".
I see no frames on your site and the links open in same window/tab.
So, I advice you to delete the target-attribute, as nothing will change
but the validity of your source code.

Georg
