This is a nice method, certainly for designers like me who have limited Js knowledge. I have only one problem with this method, but in my opinion it’s a big one. This method still relies on the the browsers to support the deprecated target attribute, which isn’t allowed in combination with a strict dtd.
So if browsers were to do what they are supposed to do, and follow the (X)HTML definition to the letter, this method wouldn’t work. For me that is a major flaw and although I have yet to find a method that does not rely on the target attribute it is reason to look elsewhere…
