I want to open a PDF file in a new browser window when user clicks on the image. I saw the other links but not found what I am looking for.
Any PHP/HTML way to do this?

<a href="path-to-my.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="image.gif" alt="my shiny PDF" border="0"/></a>

you forgot the alt attribute, which is required by xhtml strict ;)

Ah, all you strict guys... :) Fine, I'll add it ;)

Since there is a target attribute and a border attribute, it can't be Strict. The attribute is mandatory in all versions though. The space before the / that is required by the HTML compatibility guidelines is missing though.

The alt attribute’s pretty important for blind users in this case. There’s nothing else that indicates where the link goes.

In a non-example, the alt attribute would have a useful value though. A link with nothing to identify the target isn't very helpful.

Changed it. Thought it would be obvious to most. Do we really have to chew someones food?

This **is** a question at the level of "Opening a link in a new window".
