I have been struggling with this for a while, the solution was to, instead of target="_blank", you should use formtarget="_blank".

Thanks!

you can do this using javascript function 

 <input type="button" value="MyButton"  onclick="myfunction(this)" 
 data-myurl="@Url.Action("aa", "bb", new { id=@id})"  /> 


  <script>
   function myfunction(e)
     {
     var url = $(e).data('myurl');
     var popupWindow = window.open(url,title,'scrollbars=1,height=650,width=1050');
    }
  </script>

I'm struggling to read your question and code but to open new windows, the following code is used:

target = "_blank"

Is it possible to tidy your question up a bit and then I'll be able to assist you further.
