When I edit html files from my computer, they keep opening in the same browser that I have opened. How do I fix it so that html files will open in their own windows?

    Take a look at these two code reference pages.

    If you cannot get it to work correctly, double check your browser setting and various browser plugins. Or create a vmware test environment and try a few experiments on all kinds of different browsers.

    I believe you need quotes around the target, like any HTML parameter:
    Code:
    <a href='http://cnn.com' target='_blank'>Open CNN</a>
    On browsers that support tabs this often opens a new tab as opposed to a new window.

    use the target = "_blank" in the <a> tag

    or do you mean when you check your html files local then they are opened in one browser window (everytime the same) and not a new window or tab opens?
