NF . dreamweaver ie and javascripts


I fired up Dreamweaver (with EditPad and IE6) and decided to give myself something to tinker with while I'm in a relaxing-away-from-Foxpro-and-its-cruel-codes mood. But I end up in angst instead. It seems Dreamweaver conspires with IE6 and Windows to generate those out of nowhere errors. It doesn't even refresh things for heaven's sake. I spent quite a large amount of time tinkering with some javascripts, cursing and isolating each part I think was the cause of the problem only to find out that having this on top:

[!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"]
[!-- saved from url=(0039)http://www.richardbase.com/foxpro/news/ --]
(Replace '[]' with '<>')

... prevents the execution of TARGET="_blank" and ruins almost everything which in the first place is illogical. Now it is 04:03AM... I'm pissed and worse I'm hungry. Good thing there's Mozilla for comfort. But I can't eat Mozilla. This IE6 I have on this PC needs castration... really.
