Hi everyone,

I am using an onClick event to redirect to a new page but cannot achieve this ...

My code is
<a href='page1.php' onClick="return redirect (' >Click Here</a>

It works fine.

The problem is I wanted to open the bbc link in a new tab but when when I change the link to (' target='_blank') I get redirected to page1.php.

I have tried every way I can to add the target='blank' but all ways seem to stop it working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

David

Sorry my redirect function is

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function redirect(URL)
{
document.location=URL;
return false;
}
</script>
