This works for me:

I have a table with rows, that when clicked, take the user to a page with more detailed information about the item that row was describing. Unfortunately, it always changes the current page, and our users would like to be able to middle-mouse/control click the rows in order to open a new tab if they want to. This choice is available with normal links, but not with my onclick it seems. An example is shown below:
<html> <body> <table border='1'> <tr onclick='window.open("http://www.google.com")'> <td>Open Another Window</td> </tr> <tr onclick='location.href="http://www.google.com"'> <td>Change Current Page</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>What is the best way to simulate a normal link with an onclick event so the behaviour will be the same across different os/browsers, which I believe have different bindings for what triggers opening a link in a new tab.
