Paul,

Sigh...
At least you should not say silly things, once you made mistakes! Accept the truth, or leave the thread sinking in the history!

In our argument we had 2 cases:
1) <a href="http://www.site.com" target="newwin">
You say, this will always open new windows if you click 2 or more times on it.
This is simply not true! All web developers knows that! Except you...
I say, in this case 1), each click is opening the URL in the same new window, named 'newwin'!


2) <a href="http://www.site.com" target="_blank">
I say, this one will open new window each time you click on the link.
You say the target="newwin" is equivalent with target="_blank". NO, what you say, is simply not true. They work differently. One will always open new window for each click in SAME new window, the other ALWAYS opens new window for eack click!

Earlier I tested my statement in IE 6.x and other browsers, and my tests proved my statements in points 1) & 2) are right for all browsers I tested (IE 6.x, Netscape 4.x, Mozilla 1.x).


I see, that you bring up this old thread (from 2003 January), because you can't accept, that I was several times right (likely you are worrying about your prestige on the forum...), while you made some big mistakes in our technical discussions. I proved my right several times against your statements. As well in current thread & in our last discussion in this thread.


Paul, as I said several times, don't reply my posts to avoid our conflicts, and don't always attack my statements, ok? Can't you accept this?

Best regards,
Webmaster33
