When I use the target attribute as target="_blank", it is opening in a new tab instead of a new window. How can I open a link in a new window in Firefox 5?

EDIT: New approach, which is not working:

HTML

<a href="faqs.html" target="_blank" title="Help &amp; FAQs" önclick="openWindow(this.href,500,600,'Yes');return false">this is my line of code</a>

That is user-configurable, so may open in a new tab on your computer but may open in a new window on another user's computer. You should be able to get around this using JavaScript. Create a click handler for the link and, instead of navigating to the URL, use window.open to open the URL. See here.

hi,

I write the onclick as this onclick="openWindow(this.href,500,600,'Yes');return false" but it is not going good.

Please post any new code in your question (I have edited your question for you this time). There appears to be an umlaut above the "o" in your "onclick" assignment. That is your first problem.
