If you want to validate to a DTD that doesn't include the TARGET
attribute, you can set the target /property/ via JavaScript.
For one link,
<a href="/tmp/margin.html" onclick="this.target='foo';">margin</a>
For all links,
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function adjustLinks()
{
for ( var i = 0; i < document.links.length; i++ )
{
document.links[i].target = "foo";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="adjustLinks();">
<a href="/some/other/page.html">somewhere</a>
</body>
HTH!
