I'm trying to open a hyperlink in a new window instead of a new tab.. This is what I tried..
<a href="<?php echo SITEURL; ?>/orders/SOprint_new/?id=<?php echo $d['orderID']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $d['orderID']; ?></a>

_blank will open in a tab if that is what the browser is set to do. You need JavaScript with window.open and parameters to open in a new window – mplungjan Jun 22 '17 at 06:04

@Shubham _blank will always open a tab if the browser is set to open new pages in a tab. window.open with parameters will open a new window – mplungjan Jun 22 '17 at 06:08

Simply change _blank to _new
<a href="<?php echo SITEURL; ?>/orders/SOprint_new/?id=<?php echo $d['orderID']; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $d['orderID']; ?></a>

There is no _new parameter for target. It just acts as if you had target="whatever". Please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a#attr-target – mplungjan Jun 22 '17 at 06:06

Never had to use it anyway. Should have pasted JS code I guess. People are so quick to down vote. – Syfer Jun 22 '17 at 06:10

A while ago - browser changed the behavior of _blank to new Tab because it's less annoying for the enduser - but nevermind - you can still do this with JavaScript (be aware, that there could be a "this page uses popups" could occur) `Open Link in Popup` – DominikAngerer Jun 22 '17 at 06:11

People vote down when the answer is incorrect as yours is. Nothing to do with speed – mplungjan Jun 22 '17 at 06:16
