url.Action open link in new window on ASP.NET MVC Page
asp.net-mvc
Solution
You don't need to use the helper methods at all:
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank"><span>Go to Yahoo</span></a>
`Html.Action` is only for controller actions, which an external link is not. There's nothing wrong with using plain HTML to link with.
Problem
I am trying open a new window using url.Action. And the new Window url is out of this current project(external website). Here are two things i need to do: - I need to open it in a new window. - It is going to `http://localhost:57391/Home/http:/www.yahoo.com` instead of directly to Yahoo. Here is my code: ``` <tr > <td> <a href="<%= Url.Action("http://www.yahoo.com") %>"><span>Go to Yahoo</span></a> </td> </tr> ```
