url.Action open link in new window on ASP.NET MVC Page

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:

  1. I need to open it in a new window.
  2. 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>

You can try doing something like this

<a href="http://@Model.Link" target="_blank"><span>@Model.Link</span></a>

If the website parameter is dynamic -or- attaching from Model, we can try something like this.

<a href="@Model.Website" target="_blank">@Model.Website</a>

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.
