Chris Peters: Web Developer

Target equals blank must die!

Filed under: Usability — Chris Peters, April 19, 2006

The Blank says, 'I think they're on to me!'Your user’s leaving your site is not a reason to use target=”_blank” in your anchor tags. Your user’s switching to a different server or application on your company’s web site is not a reason either. Give it up. Find a new attribute to use in your <a> tags. Maybe the title attribute? Hmm?
