hyper link with target="_blank" does not open in new tab

I have the below html code snipnet

<a href="http://www.google.co.in" target="_blank" >Google</a>

in a iframe. Clicking on the a tag in ipad chrome opens in the same tab. According to a tag parameters, it should open in new tab/window.

Am i missing something, Please let me know your thoughts about this. Any reason why its blocked from opening in new tab in chrome

Keep your href and force opening the link in a new tab with:

<a href="http://www.google.co.in" onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return false;">Google</a>

Try using _top instead of _blank:

<a href="http://www.google.co.in" target="_top" >Google</a>

For Some reason it is not working so we can do this by another way

just remove the line and add this :-

<a onclick="window.open ('http://www.google.com', ''); return false" href="javascript:void(0);"></a>
