Rails: Open link in a new page

Question

I was wondering a way to open a link in a new tab. Here is the code I have so far:

<li><%= link_to "Pictures", pictures_path  %></li>

I have researched ways to do this with target="_blank", but for some reason when I tried it, it did not work. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Try it like this:

<li><%= link_to "Pictures", pictures_path, target: :_blank %></li>
