I’m using the following code to display a PDF document in IE:

<a class="menu" href="file://MyServer/MyFolder/MyFile.pdf">Click Me!</a>

This displays the PDF in the current tab… how can I make this open in either a new tab or, preferably, a new window?

    This is how you display in a new window: 

      <a class="menu" href="file://MyServer/MyFolder/MyFile.pdf" target="_blank">Click Me!</a>

    The target property can open any link (not just html or pdf) in other or the same window. Read about it here.

         _blank  Renders the content in a new window without frames.
     _parent Renders the content in the immediate frameset parent.
     _search Renders the content in the search pane.
     _self   Renders the content in the frame with focus.
     _top    Renders the content in the full window without frames.
