 * Hi,
 * Please, could not stop using the target attribute?
 * Confused target = ‘_blanc “for onClick =” window.open (this.href) return false;“
   
   Is it possible?
 * What is actually a reason, to use target blanc and not JS?
 * For me (and my clients) is the validity of sites often an indicator of the quality
   of work.
 * Thank you

 * Not all browsers support js. People with disabilities for instance.

 * You can turn it off in most browsers. Some mobile ones don’t support it at all.
   And, again, people with disabilities may have it turned off.
