form results in new window (strictly speaking) Options

[jimlongo]

I use this code to put a Google search on some pages

HTML

<form method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search" target="_blank">
<div><input type=hidden name=ie value=iso-8859-1></div>
<div><input type=hidden name=oe value=iso-8859-1></div>
<table><tr><td>
<a href="http://www.google.com/">
<img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif" alt="Google"></a>
</td>
<td>
<input type=text name=q size=31 maxlength=255 value="">
<input type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Google Search">
<input type=hidden name=domains value="domain.com"><br> <input type=radio name=sitesearch value="domain.com" checked> domain.com<img src="images/spacer.gif" height="1" width="15" alt=""> <input type=radio name=sitesearch value=""> www<br>
</td></tr></table>
</form>

I want to remove the target="_blank" from there but still have it open in another window.


this is the javascript I normally use to open a link in a new window . . .

CODE

<a href="http://www.someplace.com"  onclick="java script:openWin('http://www.someplace.com'); return false">

Is there a way to combine this to make the search results open in a new window when I'm using a STRICT DOCTYPE?

Thanks,
jim

Since one of the points of HTML Strict is to disallow the TARGET attribute, why try to circumvent it?

If you still want to do it, you might "cheat" by inserting a TARGET attribute in the FORM element with javascript (that way the validator will not notice).

Or you might open a javascript popup window with an URL consisting of the FORM's ACTION attribute and a query string put together by the form fields' name/value pairs.
