Well, the difference is in the article. Will B. of
willmaster.com also syndicates his articles ( which
is what I "found"... not his script ), but in his
articles he specifies all links to open as _blank.
Merle's articles probably have no target specified
and open in whatever frame, iframe, or window they
are clicked in as the default.

First, for those not in the know... when coding an anchor
( AKA link ) you may specify a target. Such as this:

a href="http://www.swap-ezine-ads.com/" target="_blank"
a href="http://www.zaptacular.com/" target="_new"

I left out the HTML delimiters > < for clarity across
all email clients and it will not work in this email,
but that is how you specify anchor targets in HTML.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/attr_a.asp will provide
more info on the 4 standard target attributes. ( _blank
_self _parent _top )

While 4 standard attributes exist and serve
certain purposes, you can target your anchor with any
alpha-numeric character combination. Such as this:

a href="http://www.zaptacular.com/" target="michaels_window"

It essentially tells the browser to open a new window
named "michaels_window".

Okay, back to what Tina said... I don't know if it is
mis-information or old browser differences or what, but
there seem to be a bunch of people out there who think
_new is a target attribute that acts the same as _blank.
Which is why Tina has probably never heard of it.

_new is *not* a target attribute as far as any current
documentation says and it ends up behaving the same way
as if you had named an anchor target "michaels_window"...

The first linked clicked will load in "_new" and any
subsequent links clicked ( targeted to "_new" ) will load
in the same browser window because it has been *named* "_new".
As opposed to _blank which serves the specific purpose of
opening links in new windows and any link clicked
( targeted to "_blank" ) will load in it's own new window.
That is the difference between _blank and _new.

I hope that clears it up for everyone. Sorry if I
confused any of you. :)

Michael
