With respect to the LUGNET buttons available at (URL) I have discovered that Netscape 6 does not display the text associated with the alt= attribute but will display (in the manner that other browsers show the alt= text) the string associated with (...)

As far as the markup for including the LUGNET buttons and banners on a web page is concerned, the target= attribute of the <a> tag is deprecated in HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0. While I explore how to replace the exact functionality of the target="_top" (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html)

(...) but that will only work if the client supports java - if java is unavailable (for whatever reason), the button will act as a normal link. Why not put the target tag as a backup for the java? Dan (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html)

(...) JavaScript, not Java. A completely separate and unrelated language. Note that target="_top" is for frames, to load the page in the outermost frame (i.e. the whole window). For a new window, the correct value is target="_blank". If you are not (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html)

The target= attribute is deprecated in HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0. If I, for whatever reason of vanity and the like, choose to write an XML document that validates against the strict DTDs, then I cannot use the target= attribute. You are correct that (...)

You would be right about using the target= attribute as a backup if I was writing to the Transitional DTDs or against the loose URIs. Deprecated means I can't use the target= attribute in an XML document that validates against the DTDs for HTML 4.01 (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html)

I often prefer to run with scripting disabled either because it is so buggy on (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.publish.html)

Er, I'll take as a valid point from between your non-standards-based rant tags that a web page should not need a user agent with scripting active to be usable. If I have understood the W3C's recommendations on this point, and all I'm trying to do (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.publish.html)

(...) Well, I believe deprecated does not mean prohibited; it means that it is going to be prohibited in a future version, so you'll have to change it someday. Am I wrong about that? Does CSS offer an equivalent to this? It seems possible to me. I (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html)

Deprecated does mean "not allowed" when one is validating a page against the strict DTD. It means "not prohibited" only against the Transitional DTDs. Thanks for the tips. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.publish.html)
