How to make link open in new tab
There are a few ways to make a link open in a new tab:
Method 1: Using the target
attribute
You can add the target
attribute to the link tag and set its value to _blank
. This will open the link in a new tab.
Example:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.example.com" target="_blank">Link to open in new tab</a>
Method 2: Using the rel
attribute
You can add the rel
attribute to the link tag and set its value to noopener noreferrer
. This will open the link in a new tab and prevent the parent page from being affected by the new page.
Example:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Link to open in new tab</a>
Method 3: Using JavaScript
You can use JavaScript to open the link in a new tab. You can add an event listener to the link and use the window.open
method to open the link in a new tab.
Example:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.example.com" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank'); return false;">Link to open in new tab</a>
Method 4: Using a library or framework
If you're using a library or framework like jQuery, you can use its methods to open the link in a new tab. For example, you can use the window.open
method provided by jQuery.
Example:
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.example.com" onclick="$('a').attr('target', '_blank'); return false;">Link to open in new tab</a>
Note that the target
attribute is not supported in HTML5, so you may need to use one of the other methods if you're using HTML5.
