I want when I press the button link will open on the same tab and another link will open in new tab. some people told me I have to use JavaScript for solving this problem.I am working on Dreamweaver

They are right, if you need to do more that open just a link, you'll need to use JavaScript. — techfoobar, Apr 19 '13 at 14:05

You would need Javascript in order to make it work on an ordinary button. An other option you could choose is to create a div, style it to look like a button and wrap it in a href. This way, you can specify the target: target="_blank".

Check @cgatian's answer for the Javascript solution.

You can only specify one 'href' per tag and hence one link.

<a href="http://example.com/link1">Open Link 1 in current tab</a>

You can chose to open in a new tag by using the 'target' attribute on the tag.

<a href="http://example.com/link1" target="_blank">Open Link 1 in new tab</a>

You can only open two links at the same time (with one in a new tab) using JavaScript.

<a href="http://example.com/link1" onclick="
window.open('http://example.com/link1','_blank');
window.open('http://example.com/link2');
return false;">Open Link 1 in new tab and link 2 in this tab</a> 
(If JavaScript is disabled, will open link 1 in this tab)

You have to use DOM Document Object Model to access window properties and javascript. just give your button an id and access that id in a javascript function and use the concept of DOM
