Hi
I have created an RSS Feed in my application. I have set values for all essential values for RSS. The description attribute is set as a string that is obtained by calling a method. now What that method is doing is that it creates HTML like :
RSSCourseDisplayDetails.Append("<table><tr><td><img src='" + Global.SiteRootPath + "/Local/Images/VRM/btnLaunch.png'></td><td><a href=" + sqlDr["Course_External_URL"].ToString() + " target="+"_blank "+ " >Launch/Register</a></td></tr></table>");...........and so on…..



As you can see I have used sqlDr a DataReader to read rows returned by a stored proc in SQL Server.
So the String Builder is appended more HTML like that. and thus the whole description of the RSS item is created in tabulated format.
The issue that I am facing is that target="_blank" does not work. The link redirects to the new page in the same browser window.
I want it to open in a new browser window....Please help..
