Description dominikp 2009-07-16 00:33:55 UTC 
The HTML component does not recognize the "target" attribute in an <a>-tag (<a href="..." target="...">) and 
highlights it as an "unknown attribute".
This also affects code completion, as "target" is not shown in the list of available attributes.
Comment 1 Marek Fukala 2009-07-16 10:04:15 UTC 
target attribute of <a> tag is allowed in HTML 4.01 and older, but not in xhtml. The completion and error checks reflect
this. Closing as invalid issue. Feel free to reopen if the targer attr doesn't work in 4.01 or older doctypes + attach
the file itself please. Thanks.
Comment 2 dominikp 2009-07-16 20:06:36 UTC 
When checking the W3C's web page, I overlooked that the target attribute of the <a> tag is allowed only in 
the "transitional" doctype and tried to employ it with the "strict" dtd. I apologize.
