When click on dropdown bar link, open it to new tab?

OK So when people are using the dropdown navbar, and they click on a link, i want it to open up in a new tab, not stay on the same window.
Like what is happening, when i click on a link in the dropdown bar on my homepage, it goes to that page, but then i dont have my homepage anymore.
Long story short, is there a way so that when my users click on a link in the dropdown bar, that it opens up a new tab?
Its not a browser issue, because i have my settings on "open in new link"

What code are you using there?

Instead of the bbcode you are using for links.
You could use this.

Code:

<a href="http://sports-forumbuzz.canadian-forum.com" target="_blank">Home</a>
