htmlText not supporting target in <a href="xxx">?

[tkuypers@telenet.be]

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I pasted the following URL into a field:

<p>click <a href="http://www.malamix.be/ClientData/88/234/35691/1313/1/Flyer%20Malamix%20Food%20Nederlands.pdf <http://www.malamix.be/ClientData/88/234/35691/1313/1/Flyer%20Malamix%20Food%20Nederlands.pdf>”>here</a> for the full specs </p>

Using a click on a button, I enter this into another textfield, where it shows as htmlText, so the link is invisible and the “here” is underlined and blue. 

(The field contains more info, which will be shown in a webshop which I’m filling with data.)


Switching the field back and forward between html and the actual code works fine.
But I need to show the link in a new window, so I add “ target=‘_blank’ “ after the link: 
<p>click <a href="http://www.malamix.be/ClientData/88/234/35691/1313/1/Flyer%20Malamix%20Food%20Nederlands.pdf <http://www.malamix.be/ClientData/88/234/35691/1313/1/Flyer%20Malamix%20Food%20Nederlands.pdf>” target=‘_blank'>here</a> for the full specs </p>

And when I switch between the visual text and the html-code, the target-part is gone… 

I’m using LC 0.01, but the same result in 8.02 rc2.

Bug or “hidden feature”?
