input tag inside anchor tag with target _blank fires twice

Question

In a html page, i added the following code

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"><span><input type="button" value="google" /></span></a>

To achieve image button with sliding door technique, i happens to mark up like this.

Now When I click the button, google.com opens in two tabs in Firefox.

IE didn't respond at all !!!

Thanks for any help!!!

Answer 1

The error is with your target attribute. Replace _blank with __blank.

Also replace your input button with an image.

<img>

tag

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="__blank">
     <img src="your_image_source" alt="Google" border="0" />
</a>
