    Hello!

    I would appreciate if someone could help me with a simple question about html code. However, it's not that simple for me! Here is my question: I would like to link to another web site, but I would like the link to be nofollow and I would like the target to open in a new window. Let's say that the url of the other website is: http://www.theotherwebsite.com, which of the following two codes would I use (or are they both valid):

    <a href="http://www.theotherwebsite.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Other Website</a>

    or

    <a href="http://www.theotherwebsite.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Other Website</a>

    In other words, which one comes first, the target="_blank" or the rel="nofollow" ? Thank you very much for your help!

    the order doesn't matter. Each "attribute" of the link is valid regardless.

    As stated, order does not matter.

    It is simple for you. All you had to do was try both of them. You would have seen no difference.

    The right way to do that is this :
    <a href="http://www.theotherwebsite.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Other Website</a>

    or
    <a href="http://www.theotherwebsite.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Other Website</a>

    Any of them :) :D :D :D

    HTML is really simple language, don't get confused with using HTML attributes and codes.
