How to link an image and target a new window

Question

I have a picture, if I click onto that picture, how can I build an image reference so another page opens in a new tab or a new window of my browser displaying the picture?

Answer 1

If you use script to navigate to the page, use the open method with the target _blank to open a new window / tab:

<img src="..." alt="..." onclick="window.open('anotherpage.html', '_blank');" />

However, if you want search engines to find the page, you should just wrap the image in a regular link instead.

Answer 2

To open in a new tab use:

target = "_blank"

To open in the same tab use:

target = "_self"

Answer 3

Assuming you want to show an Image thumbnail which is 50x50 pixels and link to the the actual image you can do

<a href="path/to/image.jpg" alt="Image description" target="_blank" style="display: inline-block; width: 50px; height; 50px; background-image: url('path/to/image.jpg');"></a>

Of course it's best to give that link a class or id and put it in your css

Answer 4

<a href="http://www.w3c.org/" target="_blank">W3C Home Page</a>
