[noob]

Hi all,

I want to display advertising in iframe, but bust out of iframe if someone
clicks on any of the links in there. Can u please help. I googled for it,
but I am not sure about the solution that works, and I am not a js expert.

Thanks,

steve

Just add target="_blank" to the links. That will make them open in a new
window.

Re: javascipt to bust out of iframe

Unfortunatley, I don't think that use of "target" will pass the WC3
validator. That menas you will not be able to use validation to check your
code to be sure it is up to standards and hopefully more cross-bowser.

I, also, have been wondering what to use now to do this sort of thing that
"target" is off the acceptible use list.

Why would it fail to pass the validator? It's defined in the DTD

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/loosedtd.html#Coords

(I know that's a link to Coords, but it's just below that)

It is defined in the transitional DTD but not in the strict one.

A single expected failure does disallow use of the "valid" logo; but it
does not prevent the rest of the page being checked. To make sure, do
an occasional test with target not used.

If JavaScript is available, I suppose one could add the target attribute
by script, or write the whole link by script.

That would be clearly a childish behavior: "it is OK to do if daddy
cannot see it". W3C Validator doesn't really validate anything for a
longest time by now anyway. With some caution it can be still used as
a markup errors checker, as well as HTML Tidy can be. Outside that its
HTML part is just a curious artifact of W3C ideas about the future of
the Web as they had them in 1998-99

At the modern time the DOCTYPE is only used for the mode switch with
two doctypes covering all needs:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"for
BackCompat mode
<!DOCTYPE htmlfor CSS1Compat mode

Evidently, you do not have a single clue what you are talking about.

Transitional//EN"for BackCompat mode

Valid, but recommended against *because* of the DOCTYPE switch that
triggers even more different rendering behavior among user agents.

<!DOCTYPE htmlfor CSS1Compat mode

Not Valid HTML 4.01, though.

This is ridiculous. You are referring to an *incomplete* *draft*
for HTML *5* that (obviously) lacks wide support.
