How to Open Hyperlink in a New Window

Hyperlinks are used to jump from one page to another. A hyperlink commonly opens in the same page by default. But it is possible to open hyperlinks in a separate window.

Opening external links in a new tab or window will make people leave your website. In this way, you prevent your visitors from returning to your website. Remember that visitors can open a new tab themselves and are irritated when a link opens in a new tab or window without their consent. That’s why it’s recommended to avoid opening links in a new tab or window. However, there can be specific situations when this is needed, and in this snippet, we’ll demonstrate how it can be done.

When it is needed to tell the browser where to open the document, the target attribute is used.

How to Add target=»_blank» Attribute to Anchor Link

The target attribute determines where the linked document will open when the link is clicked. It opens the current window by default. To open a link in a new window, you need to add the target=»_blank» attribute to your anchor link, like the following.

Example of opening a hyperlink in a new window with the target attribute:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> h1>Hyperlink Example h1> p> This a href="https://www.w3docs.com/" target="_blank">hyperlink a> will open in a new tab. p> body> html>

Result

In the given example, when the visitor clicks on the hyperlink, it opens in a new window or tab.

There is another way of opening a hyperlink in a new tab by using the JavaScript window.open function with the onclick event attribute like this:

Example of opening a hyperlink in a new window with the onclick event:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> style> .link:hover < text-decoration: underline; color: blue; cursor: pointer; > style> head> body> h1>Hyperlink Example with JavaScript h1> p>Visit our website p> a href="https://w3docs.com" onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=500,height=500'); return false;" class="link">W3docs a> body> html>

Let’s see one more example, where besides the target attribute, we also add a rel attribute with the “noopener noreferrer” value. The rel attribute is not mandatory, but it’s recommended as a security measure.

Example of opening a link in a new tab with the target and rel attributes:

html> html> head> title>Title of the document title> head> body> a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.lipsum.com/">Lorem Ipsum a> p>This link will open in a new browser tab or a new window. p> body> html>

Image link in new window html

Todays post will be on creating links which is probably one of the first things you’ll learn in a web design and development course.

It may seem basic and simple but you’d be surprised how often I get asked how to make an image link to something else.

This image could be a photo, an icon or a button, it doesn’t matter the code remains the same.

This tutorial will cover:

• Text links – Adding text that links to a specific URL
• Create an email link
• Adding an image using HTML
• Image links – Adding an image that links to a specific URL

Creating a text link using HTML

The reason I’m first covering regular links is because you need to know the code for this in order to add a link to an image. Here’s a stripped back version of a simple text link.

So when you fill in your details it will look something like this

Which will look like xomisse blog in a blog post, comment, forum, etc.

The next part is the destination of the link «URL» in other words where the browser will direct us to when we click on the element. You should always use the full URL – this means including http:// otherwise the URL will try open in the page you are currently on and you’ll see an error. We then close this section using >

The second section is the text that appears. This will be visible in your blog post or comment as a link once the HTML converts it. This is also where we add the image which I’ll show below.

Creating an email link using HTML

Just like a normal link except instead of http://LINK we use mailto:EMAIL ADDRESS like this

Adding an image using HTML

Now lets look at how I’d add an image to a blog post or comment. Again, it’s really simple code.

The first part is specifying that this code is an image

The second part is the source of the image src=»https://xomisse.com/blog/html-images/DIRECT%20IMG%20URL» , in other words where it’s pulling the image from. This could be from our blog or on an external hosting site such as Dropbox, Flickr, Photobucket, etc.

It’s important that the image is public and that the correct URL is used. We do not use the pages URL, we need to use the Image Address or Direct Image URL. This usually ends in the filetype of the image such as .png, .jpeg, etc.

We add alt=»Description» to tell the browser, screen-readers and search engines what the image is. Read more about that for SEO here.

Creating an image link using HTML

So now that you understand how a link works and how to add an image, we just combine the two to link an image that will go to a specific URL when clicked. Here’s the link code again but this time instead of the TEXT we add the code for an image.

Instead of a text link, we tell the browser we want an image .

How to open a link in a new tab/window

Sometimes we may want the linked page to open in a new browser tab or window. To do this we add target=»_blank» in the first section before > . We can do this for both an image or text link.

That’s it – how to add a text link, image and an image link in HTML. I hope this helped clear up some confusion and you now understand how to link and image or an icon to another URL.

Thank you, Ellie, for your excellent tutorials. Most people who are fluent in code forget that many of us don’t have an inherent understand of html. It’s so hard to find anything like this!

Really glad you found it useful Katerina! My very first blog design related post on an old blog was on the basics of HTML and I’ve always meant to come back to it here, think I may start a series 🙂

Thank you ever so much for your continued tutorials; they are very helpful.

Thank you, very clear and helpful!

Helpful post, God bless you good work.

Good article. Thanks for the tutorial. I really needed to have an image and link open in a new tab.

Open image in new window

How can I open an image in a new window by using its id ?

This function is called on click on the image. Right now, it’s opening in the same window, but I want to open it in a new window. How can this be accomplished?

For a new window that has a good chance of being lost behind the main window, and generally annoying visitors:

window.open('http://example.com/someImage.png'); 

I’d just stick to a regular link if I were you.

You can use document.write() and add html page by yourself. This option allows also to add tab title.

const newTab = window.open(); newTab?.document.write( ``); newTab?.document.close();

HTML — JS How to open an image in an image popup by clicking on it?

I should write some code in html or javascript or other to open a popup window by clicking on an image. I have already seen the window.open() method, but this isn’t what I am looking for. Precisely I want to open an image popup like Twitter does: overshadowing the background and displaying the image enlarged in the middle of the screen.

You can use a lightbox to do it.

There is a simple example in this link:

It’s really simple to use. Include the script tags and CSS stylesheets in your HTML file, and then simply use:

// Get the modal var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');// Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt" text as a caption var img = document.getElementById('myImg'); var modalImg = document.getElementById("img01"); var captionText = document.getElementById("caption"); img.onclick = function()< modal.style.display = "block"; modalImg.src = this.src; captionText.innerHTML = this.alt; >// Get the element that closes the modal var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];// When the user clicks on (x), close the modal span.onclick = function()

#myImg < border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; transition: 0.3s; >#myImg:hover /* The Modal (background) */ .modal < display: none; /* Hidden by default */ position: fixed; /* Stay in place */ z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */ padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */ left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; /* Full width */ height: 100%; /* Full height */ overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */ background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */ background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9); /* Black w/ opacity */ >/* Modal Content (image) */ .modal-content < margin: auto; display: block; width: 80%; max-width: 700px; >/* Caption of Modal Image */ #caption < margin: auto; display: block; width: 80%; max-width: 700px; text-align: center; color: #ccc; padding: 10px 0; height: 150px; >/* Add Animation */ .modal-content, #caption < -webkit-animation-name: zoom; -webkit-animation-duration: 0.6s; animation-name: zoom; animation-duration: 0.6s; >@-webkit-keyframes zoom < from to >@keyframes zoom < from to >/* The Close Button */ .close < position: absolute; top: 15px; right: 35px; color: #f1f1f1; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; transition: 0.3s; >.close:hover, .close:focus < color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; >/* 100% Image Width on Smaller Screens */ @media only screen and (max-width: 700px) < .modal-content < width: 100%; >>
