Portfolio Patched
When I originally wrote my portfolio into the website… well I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. There were no links and it instead used JavaScript to pop-up a window based on the id attribute value. Obviously I was asleep that day. It was completely non-accessible and you had to have JavaScript enabled just to view any piece.
Thankfully my live redesign broke
the portfolio. Thus I was forced to rewrite the html completely. It’s now 100%
accessible. On the final redesign I’ll use some unobtrusive JavaScript to
hijax the link and open it in a new window if JavaScript is enabled.
Meanwhile development of the new redesign is going amazingly! I’m really happy with how things are shaping up and I can’t wait to show off the new design to the world.
Rather than waiting until the final design I’ve thrown in some quick JavaScript to open portfolio items in a new window.

Ok so this might make me a candidate for execution, but can't you just put in a target attribute on the <a> tag and make it to a target frame that doesn't exist on the current page? No javascript. Been in html for like 10 years now.
The <code>target</code> attribute does not exist in XHTML 1.0 Strict. It really describes a behaviour rather than structure. For behaviour we have, JavaScript. Your execution has been tentatively scheduled for Christmas Day.
