I have a sidebar (right sided iframe) and when i click on a link in it, it opens a new window in IE8, (in firefox it open a new tab). What do i need to do to open links in IE8 in a new tab. I already set the Tools->Internet Options->Settings-> 'Always open pop-ups in a new tab' and 'A new tab in the current window' open in new tab but still doesn't work. My links are pretty simple, what am i missing ? exemple: text. Also some site are saying to register Regsvr32 actxprxy.dll to fix this problem, still doesn't work. And i want this to work with a simple click, no 'right-click->open in new tab' option. I also hope i won't get the 'can't change how ie8 works' answer. ;)
Here is a test file, but still not working with _blank...

Use Mouse or Trackpad Only If you use a mouse, simply utilizing the middle mouse button to click on a link will immediately open it in a new browser tab! Holding down the Shift key while middle-clicking also helps you switch to the tab automatically. Trackpads on Windows laptops can also open links in new tabs.
Opening an external link in a new tab allows users to explore the other site as much as they want without having to hit the back button again and again to go back to your site.
The fastest method to open a new tab in all browsers is to press the shortcut key combination Ctrl + T (PC users) or Command + T (Mac users).
You need to use the target="_blank" attribute to make links open in a new window or tab. Where the link actually opens is up to the browser settings. So if you have Tools > Internet Options > Tabbed Browsing Settings > "Always open pop-ups in new tabs" selected, a target="_blank" link will open in a new tab. Note that this type of link will open in a new window by default on most browsers.
