For some reason I have just noticed that if I select and item (graphic
or html) and create a link, the target drop down is greyed out. So I
cannot choose a _blank page.
Is this something anyone has come across?

Hi Nathan,
Do you have the page HTML level set at XHTML strict? Targets were
depreciated for this output level which means you shouldn’t use them,
you can use then as extended attributes but your page won’t validate
or you can use a script to alter the links after the page has loaded.
I would suggest dropping back down to XHTML transitional for this or
any other pages that you need to use targets for.
Regards,
Tim.

It means that your page is in an HTML level that does not include the
target attribute. You are probably set to XHTML Strict, and you can’t
set a target in a Strict HTML level. If you change to a Transitional
HTML level, you’ll be able to.
