it's just a confused html link :) normally reads: <a href="http://www.site.com/" target="_blank">a link here</a> the 'target="_blank"' portion is telling the browser to open the link in a new window.

Yes I know. The question is -- does it count for SE's, will they follow it? Nick

um, sorry i wasn't clearer.. the subject asks if it's a JS link - no it's not javascript - it's html - se's read html just fine.

I assume that you don't care about strict validation, but it also won't validate to some DTDs (definitely not to XHTML 1.0 strict; not sure about HTML 4.01). It will validate with all Transitional DTDs as far as I know. Of course, the Javascript links will validate, but the SE will not follow them. Sort of a nasty quandry. Tom

If you want search engines to follow a javascript link, you can code it like this: <a href="whatever.html" onClick="linkto('whatever.html');return false;">Text</a>
