Ope new tab/window using h:outputLink

Hi,

I use an h:outputLink in an tomahawk tree2 to open an link in a new window.
This is working but the page where I clicked the link navigates then to 
the start page
which is another xhtml page...?

 <t:tree2 id="treeGoSlim"
                     var="node"

                 ...... do other stuff ...
        
                      <h:outputLink 
onclick="window.open('#{node.goTermLink}');">
                           <h:outputText value="#{node.description}"/>
                       </h:outputLink>
</tree2>

Does anyone has an idea why this is happening?

Thanks!
Wolfgang

Hi Andrew,

sorry for the rather late reply...
target="_new" has the good effect that the page where i clicked the link 
stays
as it is (that's what i tried to achieve) but now a second tab will be 
opened
after clicking the link which then navigates to the start page.

I simply solved the problem by using the following code:

<h:outputLink onclick="window.open('#{node.goTermLink}'); return false">
                                <h:outputText value="#{node.description}"/>
</h:outputLink>

That means i just added the "return false" statement to the outputLink.

Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Wolfgang

Have you tried using target="_new"?
