Just putting "#" in href= is not a good idea. This means the link can't be see at the bottom of the window before opening and also means it can't be copied from right-click menu so there's no way of seeing where the link is pointing to in advance (unless you view source code).

@Stefan No, _blank will be fine; the links will each open in a different tab. If you specify a name without the underscore, (e.g. blank) the links will open in the same tab.

So, if you want two or more links on a page to each open in its own new separate tab, then you should not use _blank for those links, because then they will all open in the same new tab.

Well, I guess it isn't invalid, it's just different. Instead of blank you could just as well use foo, I think, while _blank actually has a special meaning. I can't find any information to prove otherwise. Can you?

The special targets all start with an underscore. blank would be the name of a frame or window. It may seem to work, because a new window or tab will probably be opened when none exists with the name 'blank', but a second click on the link should open the page in that same tab again instead of opening yet another one.
