Hi Venkat,

Do it like this using javascript:

XML

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

function OpenURL(url)
{
var newwindow=window.open(url);
window.focus();
}

</script>
</head>
<body>

<a href="javascript:OpenURL('http://www.google.com');"> Go Google </a>

</body>
</html>

Accept this as answer if it helps you. Good Luck!

Happy Coding :)
