How to make HTML open a hyperlink in another window or tab?

Question

This is a line for a hyperlink in HTML:

<a href="http://www.starfall.com/"&gt;Starfall&lt;/a&gt;

Thus, if I click on "Starfall" my browser - I am using FireFox - will take me to that new page and the contents of my window will change. I wonder, how can I do this in HTML so that the new page is opened in a new window instead of changing the previous one? Is there such a way in HTML?

And if yes, is there a way to open the requested page in another tab (not another window) of my browser?

Answer 1

use target="_blank"

<a target='_blank' href="http://www.starfall.com/"&gt;Starfall&lt;/a&gt;

Answer 2

<a href="http://www.starfall.com/" target="_blank">Starfall</a>

Whether it opens in a tab or another window though is up to how a user has configured her browser.

Answer 3

You should be able to add

target="_blank"

like

<a href="http://www.starfall.com/" target="_blank">Starfall</a>

Answer 4

Simplest way is to add a target tag.

<a href="http://www.starfall.com/" target="Starfall">Starfall</a>

Use a different name for each link if you want them to open in different tabs, the same name if you want them to replace the other ones.
