Why does a link open in the new tab but not in the current tab? - html

I have the following link on my page. The link points to an internal address.
Add XYZ and do ABC
When I click on the link, nothing happens. The browser shows a loading icon, but stays on the current page. If I right click on the link and say open in new tab, the link open perfectly in the new tab. What is the reason for this? How do I go about debugging this?

You need to set the target of the hyperlink element
Add XYZ and do ABC
Another example (which if copied directly into a HTML file will work)
Goto Google

Chrome - Highlight Links that open in new/same tab

before clicking on a link, I would like to know whether it will open in a new tab or in the same tab. Is there a way to display this information in some way? With a small symbol next to the link or by altering link colors or something similar.
Thank you!

Opening a link to a new tab, and then opening another link onto that same tab that just opened

So I already know how to open a link into a new tab by using the target=_blank.
My question is how do you open a second link onto that same tab instead of opening another new tab making three instead of two tabs?
Example:
<a href="allProducts.html" target=_blank>Products</a>
When clicked, should open a new tab.
<a href="allArtists.html" target=_blank>Artists</a>
When this is clicked, should open onto the previous new tab and not open another new tab.
So you should have the initial page, then click on allProducts to get that page on a new tab, and then click allArtists to open onto the allProducts tab to replace it instead of opening a third tab.
You can give the <a>s a common target attribute, one other than _blank, for example:
Products
Artists

History.replaceState not working properly

I need to append tab name in the browser url on tab click.
I have used History.replaceState('','','newpath');
Example:
History.replaceState('','','localhost:8000/mypage.com/home');
Now suppose I have open the page using home tab. After that when ever I'm changing the tab, the tab name is changing for sometime in the url and after that its changing back to home tab.

Open a link to new tab inside a ifame of iframe

I have a iframe-1 and it contains another iframe-1-1.[1]
Inside iframe-1-1 which contains a link.
When a user click the link:
It should open a new tab (For instance, Firebug/or Chrome).[2]
But it does not work. How can I do that?
[1] Why I have this question: because I code a webpage, it is embedded in Facebook, and I call FB.dialog it will show me a dialog is a iframe too.
[2] It works properly if I use wheel button to click.
You can't instruct a browser to open a new tab. The best you can do is to use target="_blank" and hope that the user is using a browser that will open a tab and not a new window.

How to invoke the same browser instance from a web link

I have a link on my web page. When I click it I open a new window and show content in that window.
I would like to be able, in a second time, to click again in that link and, instead of opening a new browser window/tab, to get the previous instance and put content on it.
Is it possible in some way?
Thanks in advance, greetings.
In HTML you do this by specifying a named target:
Link 2
Link 3
Link 4
All will open in the same window.
Note: If the user has their preferences set to open new windows in tabs, these will all reference the same tab (vs. window)
