<base target=_blank> code not working in IE7 ??? - GoFuckYourself.com

VikingStar · 01-26-2008, 05:50 PM

I just installed internet explorer 7 and discovered that my pages using <base target=_blank> code (placed on top in the source code so that all links open in new window) open links in the same window.

<base target=_blank> code not working in the IE7 ??? WTF?

Does it work with <base target="_blank">?

Have you added the correct DOCTYPE to the top of your document? As well, as that, don't forget: IE7 fixed the old bugs in IE6 by adding a bunch of new stupid bugs, such as whitespace between LI elements.

Or in other words, IE7 turned the IE6 rapist into a tamed paedophile...

"_blank" should do it

No shit.. that's my point.. If you do html properly, you need the "s.. if you don't, then your just a hack... by not following the rules, you force the browsers to parse in quirks mode.. that actually slows down the page load and can lead to other issues... Seriously.. If your business, livelihood is building webpages then learn how to do it properly.
