Description Peter Haumer CLA 2007-04-20 16:44:27 EDT 
We publish our pages using http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance.  This version does not seem to support the _blank attribute anymore to open a link in a new window.  Hence, when you click on such a link in Firefox it will not open a new window or tab it will just navigate away from the page. However, our Add Link dialog adds the _blank attribute.  We need to replace this with a JavaScript that opens the new window.

can't replace the problem. 
I added the [target="_blank"] attribute to a link and it pop up a new window as expected.

Please provide detail info to reproduce the problem.

Comment 4 Peter Haumer CLA 2007-08-20 02:11:50 EDT 
The bug was filed against the Add Link dialog; not the behavior of the published site. See this we resource for some more background information: http://www.thefutureoftheweb.com/blog/target-blank-xhtml11#comment19

In conclusion, the Add Link dialog seems to be generating the wrong xhtml.  It needs to be this now:

<a href="http://www.blablabla.br" onclick="target='_blank';">

Currently it still generates this:

<a href="http://www.blablabla.br" target="_blank">

This bug is related to  "add link" in RTE. So re-assigning to Jeff.
