People who know HTML

sailorhathorMy peeps who know a lot about HTML, answer this question for me. When you are linking to another site, and you use target="_blank" or target="_new", what is the difference between them? I've tested both and they both work fine in my version of Internet Explorer (they both open the link in a new window), but I've heard that target="_blank" doesn't work in Netscape. Is that true? How does target="_new" work in Netscape? Does it work in all versions of IE? I want to get an idea of which one I should use before I insert that HTML all over a couple of pages of links.
I have a doctor's appointment for next week and I'm nervous about it. My right foot has been hurting for a few months now. The pain is all in the achilles tendon area. I've kept it wrapped for forever and the pain has just gotten worse and worse. I'm really bad about taking care of myself; I should have gone to the doctor a long time ago, but I've had tendon pain in the past in this foot (the top of my foot, usually) and keeping it wrapped has always healed it right up. This is the first time my achilles tendon has hurt. I visited the doctor in October and he told me to keep it wrapped and come back if it wasn't feeling better in a couple weeks. It just isn't getting better. So, I am now going to see an orthopedist next week. What I am nervous about is that it will take surgery to fix it. I have no one to take care of me - I can't be off my feet and I can't miss a bunch of work. I simply can't. I won't be able to survive. So, I hope they can fix it without surgery or something that will keep me off my feet. I don't see how it can be fixed without me having to stay off it, though, so I just don't know what I'm going to do. I guess that's why they're doctors - hopefully, they'll have some other solution. It just hurts so bad sometimes to walk on it. But, I have no other choice. With me being on the public transportation system, I just don't see how I can comfortably get around if I'm even on crutches. Maybe I can use one of those shoe things, like a walking cast... I guess I should see what's wrong with it first. ::Sigh::
It makes me wonder if what happened to this foot when I was a kid has anything to do with it. When I was seven, my sister accidentally put a shovel into my right foot. You may all cringe now and get it over with. We were all out helping the neighbors level out their yard. For those of you who have never had to do this, in some areas, your yard gets so dry that it becomes cracked and unlevel, and the best way to get the grass growing again is to buy dirt (yes, you read that right), fill in the cracks, and fill in the low-lying areas. Our neighbor had a huge pile of dirt beside his house and we were helping to put it out, I guess because we thought it was fun at the time. I treated it like a game to the point that I didn't have any shoes on. (The whole thing had this party atmosphere, which makes Texans sound like desperate, pathetic people, having such fun playing in the dirt, but beer may have been involved. Either way, the adults dropped the ball and let me go out barefoot like a slack-jawed yokel, and my foot paid the ultimate price. I still prefer to go barefoot as much as possible. Hyuck hyuck, hey ma, look at that pointy-haired little girl!) My sister went to spade her shovel into the ground without looking, and I thought Gee, didn't she just put her shovel down awful close to me? That space should be occupied by my foot. I looked down and lo and behold, the shovel was in my foot. I started to scream. My sister freaked, like, what's she screaming for?, and then realized what she had done. I don't remember feeling much pain at the time. I guess I was in shock. It took seven stitches to close it. THEN I felt pain. Ooooh it hurt. Back then, they didn't deaden the area before they did it, for some barbaric reason. So anyway, you think this could cause future foot problems? I'm not sure how it's related, but I think it could be. I mean, you've got a shovel going into a little undeveloped foot. I dunno. I just hope they can fix it more easily than I fear.
