Various ways to do it. Use the onclick event of the a tag

Code: Select all

<a href="Javascript:" onclick="window.open('new_page.html','New Page');">Click Me</a.>

(The href="javscript:" is often written as href="#" which does nothing, but some browsers need something in the href for completeness! I prefer to use javascript as it stops the browswer putting a # in the URL)
