applied `target="_blank"` to your anchor tag? which browser u are using? to open a new window in a tab is your browser setting. nothing to do with your `target="_blank"` this attribute will open the window in new window, **depending on your browser setting it will open in tab, or new window.** — Murtaza, Dec 28 '11 at 08:37

Instead of creating new window create new `
` elements using JavaScript. See [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1328723/how-to-generate-a-simple-popup-using-jquery) for some pointers and examples. — Shadow The GPT Wizard, Dec 28 '11 at 08:41

If I understand you correctly, you want a new tab to open when you click "Edit State" instead of a popup window?

In that case you could just do:

<a href="View/updateState.aspx" id="A2" runat="server" target="_blank">Edit State</a>

here is the answer to open a tab and not new window on click of the link, through window.open

you can just add the below to parameters in your window.open method

modal=yes, alwaysRaised=yes

function fnEditState() {
window.open("View/updateState.aspx", "","status=2, scrollbars=1,resizable=1, width=800,  height=300, modal=yes, alwaysRaised=yes"); 
}

Form open in new tab
