How to open Facebook in a new tab

Hi,
What do I need to modify to make Facebook open in a new browser tab when the user clicks the Facebook icon? I can see the code in footer.php where you are constructing the URL to associate with the button, but it's a bit complicated. When I try to add the

target="blank_"

I get syntax errors, so I'm obviously putting it in the wrong place.
Thanks!

Hey,
open up footer.php (but use a ftp software not wp-backend otherwise it won't work) and search for:
```
echo "<li class='facebook'><a class='ie6fix' href='http://facebook.com/".$k_option['footer']['acc_fb']."'>Facebook</a></li>";
```
Replace it with:
```
echo "<li class='facebook'><a target='_blank'  class='ie6fix' href='http://facebook.com/".$k_option['footer']['acc_fb']."'>Facebook</a></li>";
```
You can also use the javascript solution from this tutorial:
