Need help opening a link in a new tab from drop down menu
<pre><code>&lt;select id="select" onchange="this.options[this.selectedIndex].value 
&amp;amp;&amp;amp; (window.location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value);"&gt;
&lt;option value=""&gt;Choose your state&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="http://www.treasury.state.al.us/Content/index.aspx"&gt;Alabama&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option value="http://treasury.dor.alaska.gov/"&gt;Alaska&lt;/option&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I've tried looking at other examples, but I'm not sure where to add the "_blank" target attribute to this code to let the link open in a new window/tab. Any help would be appreciated. </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
