Open links in external browser window (_blank)
How to I place a link that opens external to the current window? Normally I
would use target=_blank, but in Kupu I don't see any option to specify this
option. Also, when I try using BXE to specify the link in Firefox, I get a
message "a is not allowed as a child of a". If I try using source editor to
change target of the link, when i save, I get "RELAX NG Validation failed:"
error in red, with a bunch of other errors like:
error: text not allowed here ....filename.xml:22:46:
error: element "br" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" not allowed
in this context
error: element "a" from namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" not allowed
in this context
etc., etc.
I had copy pasted the text from an HTML page to a text editor, and then pasted
it in Kupu.
I guess I am missing a big piece here - am I not supposed to copy paste text
into Kupu??
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Rovi,
just a guess: target is deprecated and not part of XHTML 1.0 strict.
You could try to switch to XHTML 1.0 transitional DTD or open the
window by javascript. A handy way is to use the rel attribute for
marking links that should open in a new window. Put the url into
href and a marker into rel like rel="external". The javascript
itself registers for the window.onload event, scans the page for all
a-Tags and applies a function for opening the window for all marked
links, which reads the url from the href attribute. Don't forget to
return !window.open so that the link will open in the same window if
javascript is disabled.

Thanks Martin! How can I switch to XHTML 1.0 transitional DTD? I would infact
like to switch to DTD which has the least restrictions.

Oops. You are correct. Sorry. I had not noticed there were multiple
DTDs on the page since the I used a named anchor to open the page at
the start of the Strict DTD.
I think DTDs were deliberately created to be difficult to understand.
And the W3C putting several DTDs on one page so searching the text
returns a term from a different DTD is cruel.
Still... Rovi needs quotes. And has there been a change between 1.2.2
and 1.2.4 that would error based on Strict? It worked fine in 1.2.2.

Actually, the page you linked contains also the Transitional dtd, and
the first occurrence on 'target' is exactly between the entities section
of the transitional.

Martin:
<a target="_blank"> is valid for strict:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict
Rovi:
<a target=_blank> is not valid because it is missing quotes. See the
example above.
I tested with Lenya1.2.2. Create a link normally in Kupu. Switch to
source (last icon). Added target="_blank" to the A tag. Exit Source.
Save. Exit. Test link. Worked fine.
And yes, the editors need to be revamped for usability. Too much
simple stuff requires editing source code.
