  Set the target attribute of the <a> (anchors) to '_blank'

  Joseph has given you the correct answer.  However, it will always open in a new window, not a new tab.  Tabs weren't invented when they decided in the html anchor specification.

  Hi Mike,

  I tried to implement this as a hyperlink within the gridview and it opened up my details.aspx page within the same tab as my original page, so it did not exactly work?

  how do i get it to open in a new tab rather than the Tab i am in...if you get my meaning so that i can have the original grid in one tab and the details page in another tab?

  thanks here is my code:

  <asp:gridview ID="gvbooks" runat="server">

  <Columns>

        <asp:TemplateField  ItemStyle- horizontalAlign="Center">

            <ItemTemplate>

                 <a id="lnkDetails" runat="server" target="_blank">details</a>// i was using a link button before so now i switched to a hyperlink..line below

               <asp:HyperLink id="lnkDetails" runat="server" Target="_blank" NavigateUrl="~/PMDetail.aspx">Details</asp:HyperLink>

           </ItemTemplate>

       <asp:TemplateField> 

  </Columns>

  </asp:gridview >

  This above all: to thine own self be true.
