Page Rank

[Simon]

I forgot to mention that naming a page instead of using _blank as the value can cause one bad effect. After opening a window named "new" the surfer may click on the window with your hub or link list page, accidentally putting the named "new" page behind that window. Now every time he clicks a link with the "new" value on your page, it opens in the window hidden behind your page. Eventually the surfer gets tired of clicking links that seem to never do anything and leaves your site, maybe even a little pissed off. That won't happen if you use _blank.

DOH! Being under the misconception that "new" and "blank" were interchangeable, I could never figure out what was causing this. Thank you, Simon. Life makes so much more sense now!
