You should add the target=\"_blank\"
and rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"
in the anchor tag.
For example:
<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http://your_url_here.html\">Link</a>
Source:
<a>
| attribute target
It shouldn\'t be your call to decide whether the link should open in a new tab or a new window, since ultimately this choice should be done by the settings of the user\'s browser. Some people like tabs; some like new windows.
Using _blank
will tell the browser to use a new tab/window, depending on the user\'s browser configuration and how they click on the link (e.g. middle click, Ctrl+click, or normal click).
set the target
attribute of your <a>
element to \"_tab\"
EDIT: It works, however W3Schools says there is no such target attribute: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
EDIT2: From what I\'ve figured out from the comments. setting target to _blank will take you to a new tab or window (depending on your browser settings). Typing anything except one of the ones below will create a new tab group (I\'m not sure how these work):
_blank Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
_self Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked (this is default)
_parent Opens the linked document in the parent frame
_top Opens the linked document in the full body of the window
framename Opens the linked document in a named frame
You can simply do that by setting target=\"_blank\"
, w3schools has an example.
