If your page is in a Strict doctype, then you can't use the target
attribute. (In a Transitional doctype, target="_blank" will give you
an endless succession of new windows, one for each link;
target="anything" will give you one new window over and over, with the
JavaScript name "anything", and it will keep re-using it.)
Instead, you have to use JavaScript to open the window. You can do
this inline, with
:onclick => 'window.open(this.href, "someName");'
or you can use another attribute as a hook for unobtrusive JavaScript.
I prefer the latter, and use
:rel => 'new_window'
and then
$$('a[rel*="new_window"]).invoke('observe','click',function(evt){
evt.stop();
return window.open(this.href,'someName');
});
Put that in a script block at the bottom of the page, or inside a
listener on the dom:loaded event, so it's set up when the page loads.
