Opening a link in a new tab [duplicate]

Answer 1

you want to use document.getElementById("theidgoeshere");

To do this, set the id attribute in your link like so:

Google

Then in your javascript

  var anchor = document.getElementById("theidgoeshere");
  if(anchor.getAttribute("href"))
      anchor.target = "_blank";

Also note you might want to do without the javascript. Just put target="_blank" in your anchor tag.
