hi there,i am currently working through a html book called "html and css in 24 hours" and I am following the instructions to the letter but one bit does not work for me.In hour three it reads that to open a new browser window from a link in xhtml you need to put in the head section the following code <script type="text/javascript" src="external.js"></script> and add to the <a> tag the following code rel="external".Now when I press the link the new page opens in the existing window and does not create a new one.
Is the book wrong or is there something i need to change in my browser settings?
Thanks Andy

P.s the old target="_blank" code does create a new window but i'd sooner use xhmtl.

It looks like you need to have created a document titled "external.js" and have it saved separately for it to work correctly. It is trying to call up that file, and cant find it.

Also, you can try reading through this article... http://www.sitepoint.com/article/sta...ompliant-world

Hope it helps! I think the old tag was so much easier!

Thank you,that now works.The book does not mentioned any other code.
Thanks,Andy
