It's been discussed many times and it's not a feature that is ever intended to be included. Using target="_blank" forces the user to view a link in a new window/tab. This may not always be what the user wants, in fact while there are links you think are best if opened in a new window/tab, some users may not want them to and will be discouraged from using your site because that action is forced upon them. With modern browsers any user can simply use a easy key that their browser uses if they wish to open a link in a new window. In Firefox it's as simple as holding down the CTRL key and clicking, and 90% of other modern browsers use a similar action, perhaps with a different key. So because the user can by default pick what they want easily, and adding a _blank to it will make it open in a new window/tab even if they don't want it to. It was decided to not include that ability. ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of: -The Gaiapedia (http://gaia.wikia.com) -Wikia ACG on Wikia.com (http://wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_ACG) -and Wiki-Tools.com (http://wiki-tools.com) Marko Milisavljevic wrote:
