How do you make a caption link target a new window in lightbox?

Question

I tried adding the target="new" in the link, but it's not working.

<a href="images/fiandre/fiandre3.jpg" data-lightbox="fiandre" data-title="<a href='http://www.granitifiandre.com/porcelain-tile/technical-ceramic/granite-tiles/' target="new">New Granite</a>"

Use target="_blank" to do this.

you just need to add target="_blank"

<a href="images/fiandre/fiandre3.jpg" data-lightbox="fiandre" data-title="<a href='http://www.granitifiandre.com/porcelain-tile/technical-ceramic/granite-tiles/' target="_blank">New Granite</a>"

I've tried that, but what it gives me is New Granite"> next to the image before I even click on the image. – Kluong May 07 '14 at 15:29

Just change the word new to _blank and you're good to go.

That's because you're not properly opening and closing your href. Erase that line of code you've got and replace it with this... `New Granite` – Millhorn May 07 '14 at 15:49
I don't have your image, so I can't display it, but you should get the general meaning. – Millhorn May 07 '14 at 15:52
I got it, i just have to tweak the lightbox JS. – Kluong May 08 '14 at 03:36
Ok. Please add your tweak here. Others may come back and need this answer. – Millhorn May 08 '14 at 22:15
