how to open a link in new window using html?

Question

i want to open link in new window instead of new tab. I used "_blank" and "_new" in target but its not working, its open's in new window.

<a href="allskills.php" style="text-decoration:none" target="_new">All Skills</a>
or
<a href="#" style="text-decoration:none" onClick="window.open('allskills.php', '_blank')">All Skills</a>

is there any way to open in new window?

Thanks

@Quentin its not working..thats why i ask question and i have already mention that "_blank" or "_new" is not working — Ankur Dhanuka, Sep 27 '13 at 12:04
@smAnkurDhanuka — It's not working, because what you want, you can't have, which is what the answer to the duplicate question says. — Quentin, Sep 27 '13 at 12:55

FF uses tabs. New window you can open only with Javascript: window.open('example.html', 'name', 'settings')
