Ease up, I didn't see a jab in that last post.

eSite, it seemed like you were requesting this of us as a service, rather than requesting for help -- we are more likely to happily do the latter than the former. If you want someone to write up a script for you, post an offer in the Market Place section of this site.

If you don't want to write up code, why should we? It is only if you have the will to solve your problem, but lack some knowledge, expertise, or another pair of eyes that we'll try to do something about it.

You didn't really make it clear that you wanted links or pre-made scripts either; it appeared to me like you wanted one of us to do the dirty work for you the whole time.

Do you see why we're unwilling to do this for you?

Perhaps this is just a communication issue. Why don't we leave it at that and proceed without the hostility.

Again, please, if you have some code already that you have trouble with, feel free to let us see it and work on it.

I'm sorry...but you seem to be nothing but condescending in every one of your posts, and cant get by without some jab at our skills (individually or as a group).

Maybe you should consider changing your posting attitude

Sorry guys but I'm just extremely hard to please.
I though I were not the first to ask for a script that already exists somewhere you might know where, or at least that there were some gurus here that would have wrote the script in a minute.

I think this article might help you out:

Ah, that's my point. Don't.

So, Abhi, how are we supposed to open new windows without using Javascript (wouldn't anyways), and without using target="new"?

I stand corrected. It is allowed in XHTML Transitional. So the question is, why use Strict?

I use target attributes all the time and (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) they are XHTML strict compliant. What is illegal is using target="_new", but target="new" works fine and validates. I can't remember the reason why but for some reason they 'outlawed' the use of the underscore, but the target attribute itself should be fine. Correct?

*sigh*

Humanity? Progress? Javascript?!

target attribute is being phased out for a reason.

When will people learn? Don't mess with the client. If I want that link to open in a new window (or tab), I'll middle-click it myself. Touch not my window object!

Anyhow, Kyle is quite correct in saying that we're not here to manufacture scripts for the highest bidder (rather, any bidder). If you're asking for help in writing your own, we'll be glad to pitch in. Post up what code you have here and try to describe what limitations it has, or what you want fixed. We can try advancing from there.
