title: Cross-Browser compatible opening of a new tab/window (browser)
body: <p>I'm sure you can help me with this issue:</p>
  
  <p>I recently run into some issues with opening a new tab / pop-up on a php/javascript site.</p>
  
  <p>My current solution is as followed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  
              function Popup(url) {
                  window.open(url);
              }
  
      &lt;/script&gt; 
  
  
      &lt;div class="link_box"&gt;
  
          &lt;a class="link_box_link" href="javascript:Popup('http://www.&lt;website&gt;.com')"&gt;&lt;website-name&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  
      &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However some of my coworkers using IE6-8 can't seem to open the link. Now I hope you can help me finding the best possible and cross-browser compatible solution for opening a new tab or window. Any help or tip would be greatly appreciated!</p>
