I have same ancors/hyperlink in my html file. These point to a new website outside my site.
So I want that when the user clicks the link it should open a new tab or window. My website page should not be closed.

How can it be done?

<a href=newpage.htm target=_blank>Click me to open in a new tab/window</a>

Load the linked document into a new
blank window. This window is not
named.

If there is no existing window or
frame with the same name as specified
in the target, a new window is opened
with a name equal to the value of the
target.

Its the setting in a browser that determines whether to open the page in a new tab or in a new window.
