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 in a frame, it will
I believe create a new window.
Deprecated or no, putting in a target attribute is the best way to
implement this functionality, at least for the present time.
