I use target="_blank" to open links in a new tab. But in IE it opens a new window which is completely logical because that is what _blank is supposed to do.

And i don't know how target="_blank" behaves in other browsers.

Is there something to force links to open in a new tab. If the browser supports tabs... else make a new window

tabs cross-browser html

You can change the way Safari opens a new page in Safari > Preferences > Tabs > 'Open pages in tabs instead of windows' > 'Automatically'

You can set IE to open links in new tab, just go to the settings menu.
