Help with javascript button

shingionline · 12-20-2011, 02:40 PM

Hi guys,

I have an input button which is set to open a url:

Code:

<input type="button" value="Go to facebook" 
onclick="location.href='http://facebook.com'" target="_blank" />

This works fine except the facebook page opens in the same window, how can i get it to open in a new page it appears the target="_blank" does not work on input buttons

Thanks in advance

You would probably be better off using an image and linking that, but try this for your specific question.
