target=“_blank” is not working in firefox?

Question

target="_blank" is not working with firefox <a href="login.php" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:window.close();" > <img src="images/loginto-apply-but.gif" border="0"/> </a>

Answer 1

Use below instead.

<a href="#" onclick="window.open('login.php','_blank');window.close();return false">
  <img src="images/loginto-apply-but.gif" border="0"/>
</a>

Answer 2

This is not working because you're calling a Javascript event to close the current window and after launching the "_blank" to acces to your link. You have to create a Js method to launch your link and after close the current window.
