My links correctly open a new window when using IE8; but when I use Firefox or Chrome, they just open a new tab.

I am using the code target="_blank" for my links.

How do I fix this so it opens a new browser window and not just another tab?

This fix needs to be for everyone that views the page and not just for my personal use.

    It is there with the browser, because they supports tabbing, it will open in a tab. Having said that, there are probably some settings for them in each browser as well as addons that control that, for example, in firefox, you can control window positioning, tabs and a lot more with Tab Mix Plus addon.

    Note that you can also open in new window with window.open eg:

    window.open('example.html', 'name', 'settings')
