My situation is external links in a custom forum im developing.
Im wanting them to open in a new window and preferably wanting a strict compliant site thus I cannot use the target attribute.
I having to decide on what to use:
[FONT=Courier New]… rel=“external”>[COLOR=Blue]External Link (rel=“whatever” with javascript to add in target="_blank")[/COLOR]</a>
… rel=“nofollow”>[COLOR=Blue](rel=“nofollow” opens in new window anyway?)[/COLOR]</a>
… target="_blank">[COLOR=Blue](target, new window - cant be used in strict)[/COLOR]</a>
… >[COLOR=Blue](Just use Normal Link?)[/COLOR]</a>[/FONT]
What do you feel would be satisfactory for a forum?
Does “nofollow” open a new page on all browsers - should it be used?
Any advice would be helpful!
Cheers.
