I have an iframe with the following doctype: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

I have an iframe with the following doctype:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Inside this iframe, there is an anchor that has the attribute target="_blank".

I got complaints that when opened in Internet Explorer 8, sometimes the url is opened in that iframe itself (so, as if there were no target attribute).

And my questions are:

  1. Does it have anything to do with my doctype?
  2. If it does, how do I fix it?

Thank you.

    This problem of IE8 preventing links from spawning if they have target=”_blank” appears to be limited to corrupt installs of IE8.

    More explanation on this problem can be found here
