So, I started learning HTML few days ago, it's really easy and I understand those basics, but I didn't found the thing I currently need... So, I made a Link on my website, and when I press that link it will go to my site for example if I click "Start" it will go to "_blank" where the new things comes. So when I press that link to go there, how do I make the code that will load in that new tab, I still don't understand it. Hope you understand what I want, thank you for your help.
target="_blank" Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
target="_self" Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked (this is default)
target="_parent" Opens the linked document in the parent frame
target="_top" Opens the linked document in the full body of the window

The tag defines a hyperlink
Consider this example,
Visit W3Schools.com!
The "target" attribute specifies where to open the linked document, it can take any of the values in (_blank, _parent, _self, _top, framename) when it's value is '_blank' then the hyperlink will open in the new Tab.
Then "href" attribute will consist of the actual hyperlink, that is a URL that will open in the new page.
As you want a hyperlink for your own website, you need to give a link that works & would be served by your web server (Fro Ex., Apache). You need to put the web pages in the websever var/www/ folder if your server is linux with Apache webserver. Similarly. If you give any other website link as href, then that web page will be loaded.

I want to put a link to a external page, but when I click on the link, which is meant to open a new tab, the original tab gets refreshed too while opening the new tab, I want to stop the refreshing since it has a session open and refreshing it leads to the login form of my page, is there any solution to this?
<a style='text-decoration: none;' target="_blank" href="(link to
the external web page)" >Visit</a>
I've been searching and I just can't find a way to fix this, not sure if I missed something or if I'm not searching with the right words, is just a normal <a href='extlink'> link that leads to another web page
I were told that could be a javasccript attached to the link, and that was the issue, I was using a class that refreshes the tab onclick without realizing,thanks for the suggestion
(Although is not supported by HTML 5)
Could someone provide an example HTML document wherein Magic Target Names :"_blank","_parent","_self". are used?
The Magic Target Names, as you call them, are basic HTML attributes, which exist for as long as I can think. What do they do:
A link to some content
The target attribute provides an option to specifiy, how the browser should handle your click on that link.
A link to some content
A link to some content
A link to some content
_self: opens the link in the same window instance
_parent: opens the link in a new window instance
_top: opens the link in the full body window
_blank: opens the link in a new tab
I am working on a project using socket.io. I want to give user some links to download a file as
<a href="<path>" >Link Name</a>
When I click on link to download file, my socket gets disconnected.
When I use this
Link Name
it works fine. Any reason why this happens?
When you follow a link within the same window, the current page's environment gets completely torn down, including the entire JavaScript environment in which your code (and socket.io's code) is running. That's why it does this when you click a link to a new page within the current window, but not when you open a new window (target="_blank").
You'll want to look at the various single-page-application techniques, which mostly involve swapping content into the current page using ajax (and updating the hash so the URL is different) without loading an entirely new page into the window.
You can try to target downloads to a hidden iframe. This would prevent page reloading:
<iframe id="downloadIframe" name="downloadIframe" style="display:none;"></iframe>
Link Name
We specify id as well as name for iframe for cross-browser behavior.
So I'm new to Web Development, and I wanted to know if there was a way to have a hyperlink in HTML, to be opened in a new tab, once clicked on. From there, I would want to have another hyperlink open in that exact same new tab that was opened for the previous hyperlink. Basically I have two hyperlinks that open in the new same tab, versus having the hyperlinks opening in each of their own new tabs. Currently I've been programing this webpage in HTML. Also this is my own project, not school related!

some text
To make a link open in a new tab, include target="_blank" in the properties of the a tag:
<a target="_blank" href="xxx.html"> sometext</a>

I'm still really new to this web server thing.. But, I'm deploying a web site using tomcat. And, I've got a jsp page that has a link in it:
The html for the link is pretty simple:
. When I deploy the website locally, this works fine (it opens a new window with page == href). But, when I run the website using https, instead of creating a new window with the url, it creates a new window and adds "www.website.com" on to the url for the page that contained the link.
I'm wondering:
Is this a behavior of tomcat's SSL encryption, or is it something else?
How would I get the desired behavior (the link opens up a new window with
url == "www.website.com"?
You need to add http:// to the front of the href attribute in your link to the external website.
So, instead of Link text, you need Link text.
The reason for this is that links without the protocol in front of them are treated as relative links, meaning the href property in your <a> tag will just be appended to the base URL of your site. See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_link_href.asp.
