How can i set a link to open in a certain frame if the target attribute does not exist in XHTML strict?

Is it because frames will be deprecated in newer versions?
But how can i, at the moment make the link work?

Thanks

You have to use JavaScript and the window.open() method.

Just for the record, it was deprecated already in HTML 4 and can't be used with HTML Strict either.

ok but how can i do it with javascript
i found the following:

javascript:parent.myframe.location='http://www.dynamicdrive.com'

this works but changes the contents on the frame that it is located in to be a text string representing the uri. In other words, it prints the address in the frame containing the link.
Anyone know a way round this?

Ok i have found the solution to my problem,

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function link()
{
parent.Menuframe.location.href='../pages/forsale.html'
}
-->
</script>

This script used with...
<a href="javascript:link()">linktext</a>
Allows frame targeting without any side effects.
