Target=_blank is not working in XML code

Hi Experts,

I have very basic question I am passing an extenal URL in XML code but target=_blank is getting ignored.

<a href="http://localhost:8080/VikasSSO/Test.jsp" target="_blank">Click vikas</a>

I done some research on it and found we can achieve it with java script only as target=_blank wont work directly in XML.

Regards

Vikas
