Question

is it possible to have a target=\"_blank\" in LinkButton...mine doesnt seem to be working

Answer 1

After looking at these answers and none was exactly what I wanted (do this with a button look), I ended up using a hyperlink control, but used the same css style as my regular buttons:

.button {

    background-color:#011745;
    color:white;
    padding:7px 12px 7px 12px;
    margin:3px;
    border-style:none;
    font-size:12px;

}

.button:hover {

    background-color:#336699;
    color:white;
    padding:7px 12px 7px 12px;
    margin:3px;
    border-style:none;
    font-size:12px;

}

It looked just like them! If you are going for a button that opens a link in a new window, which I was, it was almost perfect. In a set of table cells, it displayed just a touch lower than the regular buttons, so I styled it like this: "position:relative; top:-2px;" and that did the trick. I also had to force the forecolor white:
