HTML code to open link in new window / tab not working in FAQ's

[Berto2002]

In the FAQ, I want to include links that open in new tabs/windows.

The HTML for this is to add target="_blank" after the link and before the ></a> tags.

But this does not work.

Is this deliberate or can I request this to be improved so it does work?

Or is there another way to do this?

@Berto2002This is due to the way that the FAQs are implemented presented.

The use of the target attribute is on the list, however there are currently no timescales for a change in this area.

Hi, whenever we add any url links to FAQ's on the Employee Portal they are all opening in the same window so taking the customer away from Hornbill.  We'd like this to open in another window or tab. 

I've tried adding the Target and set it to various options but they all seem to do the same thing and just opens in the same window, I've checked the source as well and it's saying _blank etc but it doesn't seem to work.  Any advice appreciated.

I've merged this post with the existing one.
Unfortunately this is still on the list but with no timescales.

Thanks Steve

@Steve Giller - Is there any movement on this and the anchors within the FAQ editor?

[Steve Giller]

I'm not aware of any movement in this area to report.

Hi, I'm finding the same thing, editing a link in an FAQ and selecting, in the Target tab, New Window (_blank), is having no effect, the linked page opens in the current tab.
This is really non-standard for us.
Is there no prospect of getting this to work? _blank is provided as an option (even tho' labelled as 'new window'  rather than 'new tab'.
I don't know what the other options are supposed to do:

 

None of the ones I've tried seem to do anything different)

I'm thinking of resorting to '(press the CTRL key as you click the link to open in a new tab)'
