target="_blank" is probably one of the most talked about attributes that the W3C is deprecating (in ohter words, you'll run into problems validating your page)

Even though by accessibility standards its frowned up, with the advent of link farms & reciprocal linking everwhere, many still would prefer to hold the visitor at their site by producing the 2nd window (a topic done to death in the Acessibility forum). If you do a search for target="_blank" you will find many forums discussing it.

SitePoint have one suggestion that I have seen many use, though I have never tried this one with javascipt turned off, so I dont know if it still works. (many businesses have javascipt turned off for security reasons)

The code below I have tried in one browser with javascript turned off (think it was Opera), and it worked.

< a class="classname" href="#" onClick="window.open('http://wherever/com','','toolbar=yes,location=yes,scrolling=yes,st atus=yes,
scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,');return false" title="wherever it points">
Name of Site</a >

With the attributes adjusted you can determined what the new window will do (for an image or plain text you might not want all the window features)

But if your not fussed about validating, the target="_blank" is the easiest way.
