How to get links to open in a new window?

Question

I am making a website using weebly.com and have created some external links. There is no option (that I see) to have these open in a new window and I'm wondering is their a code I can add to the link url which *will* make the link open in a new window? Please help.

Answer 1

<a href =" whateverlink.com" target="_blank" > click here </a>

target="_blank" is what makes it open in a new window

Answer 2

HTML code:

<a href="url" target="_blank">text</a>

JavaScript code:

<script language="javascript">

document.write

("<a href='url' target='_blank'>text</a>")

</script>
