The "target" attribute in links is now only used for pages using framesets (reference), so how do you pop up a new browser window for links you want to have people navigate to without leaving your page?

Using the current W3 standard for anchor tags anchor tags can be given a rel attribute that describes what relation the linked-to page has to this current page. It also provides a standard list of available relationships. Many other groups added to this list and there are many widely-used values for the rel tag, including "external".

With this method, give links to be made popups a rel attribute of "external", and include the following file in the head of the document.

	<?php

	/**
	* Return a substring, honoring nested strings
	*
	* Find from "start" to "end" in a given "haystack" string,
	* but if a second "start" is encountered before the first "end",
	* skip over the nested repetition and return all the way up to the proper "end" for the outer "start"
	*
