Level

A

Technical description

Scope

Page

Decision level

Semi-Decidable

Algorithm

Selection

Set1

All the <a> tags with an href attribute AND a not empty target attribute with a content different from _self, _top and _parent.

a[href][target]:not([target=_self]):not([target=_top]):not([target=_parent]):not([target~=^\s*$])

Process

Test1

If Set1 is not empty, raise a MessageA for each occurence.

Raise a MessageB instead.

MessageA : Check user is warned when a new window is opened
MessageB : Check whether js prompt eventually a new window

Analysis

Pre-Qualified

In all cases

Notes

We assume here that a not empty value different from "_self" for the "target" attribute lead to the opening of the page in a new window. The detection is not only done with the "_target" value.

On latest webdev data set (2013-10-30, 78,000 pages), the selection has been found on 62039 pages, i.e on 79% of the pages
