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" attribute, I will make do with a JavaScript event handler to open
LUGNET in a new page:

<a href="http://www.lugnet.com/"
onclick="window.open('http://www.lugnet.com/');return false">

With respect to the LUGNET buttons available at
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/logo/buttons/ 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 the core HTML/XHTML attribute title=. Accordingly, in my own personal use
of these buttons and banners, I have added the title= attribute to the <IMG>
tag with the same text as for the alt= attribute. I suggest, as convenient,
that the button page be updated to include the title= attribute.

Heading more into geek-y territory, I have actually established a class
selector for the buttons and banners to move the border, height, and width
attributes into a stylesheet since Netscape Communicator 4 goes completely
wacko upon encountering an IMG tag with an inline style.

(...) 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)
