What is a HTML href target blank?

Use the following code for target blank:

target="_blank"



What does Target Blank do?

This HTML is used to make a hyperlink location open in a new browser window or new tab depending on the browser, version or user settings. When the user clicks on the link a new browser window will open in a new tab with the web address URL you indicated. The originating page (with the link) will remain open underneath the new window or tab. Use this approach sparingly in most cases or based on the anticipated needs of your audience.

A full example looks like this:

<a href="your_link.html" target="_blank">Your link text</a>
