with IE8, they have introduced tabs, how can you open a link in a new tab rather then a new browser?

right click on the link and select "Open In New Tab"

Click on "file" and there you have options. Click on "new tab"

okay, but how do you direct HTML to open it automatically in a new tab rather then a new browser?

Is there a cross-browser syntax for

1. Open in same window
2. Open in new tab
3. Open in new browser

in HTML and/or PHP and/or JS?

Exactly, that is what I am looking for.

1. Open in same window - Uneccessary
Normal behaviour for links, but the superfluous target="_self" can be applied

2. Open in new tab - No, but can be set in user prefences in most browsers

3. Open in new browser - the target attribute

The target attribute is of course deprecated in XHTML DTDs except for "Frameset"

In Internet explorer 8 you can open new tab with use of CTRL+t key.In internet explorer 8 new tab option is very good for internet user. Through this option user can open more than one web site in that browser.
