1Is window.open() being called from a click event? If so, you'd have to stop the event from bubbling/propagating (which would cause the main browser window to point to the new url as well). Using jquery, event.preventDefault()Alex Heyd– Alex Heyd2012-06-28 22:22:41 +00:00Commented Jun 28, 2012 at 22:22

This is occurring because the second spot where you have _blank is where the name should be.
I would recommend as the link above that Nathan post suggests doing this. :
window.open(url, windowName, "height=200,width=200");
Then doing some javascript triggering on whatever event is causing the new window to open.
So, lets say it is an image, set the Target="_blank" for the image and then set an OnClick event to call a function with the window.open code in it.
That will do the trick. HTH

Thank you every one for all the comments and useful information. 1) I added target = _blank attribute via jquery on the ready 2) I added event.PreventDefault() for the OnClick This two things did the trick.
