    The target="_blank" goes in the form tag, ie;

    <form method=get action="http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search" style="float: right;" target="_blank">

    <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">
    <img src="http://us.geo1.yimg.com/pic.geocities.com/us/i/geo/ao/us_cat.gif" width=151 height=39 border=0 align=top alt="[ Yahoo! ]"></a><br>

    <input type="text" name="p" value="" size=18>
    <input type="submit" name="name" value="Submit Query">

    <font size=1>
    <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search/options">
    options</font></a>
    </form>

    You're welcome.

    I don't think that would have worked even with the ";"

    :)
