Page is a not externally linkable
- Code, Content, and Presentation
-- JavaScript and AJAX
---- Alternative to target _blank or JS for popups

I've been experimenting on my personal site trying to get everything to use fully validating XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS for all layout, etc. One problem is that I want to show a thumbnail and then have it show a larger version in a popup window that the user closes when done viewing. The two "old" methods would be
1. target="_blank"
or

2. Javascript

but neither of these validate (the first because it is deprecated, the second because of accessibility issues).

Does that mean that one must simply not use popups if you want your page to validate, or is there some other solution?
