ASP.NET C# target blank is not working on LinkButton

[kgtknih]

I have this linkbutton here...\[code\]<asp:LinkButton ID="linkButton" CssClass="Button" runat="server" target="_blank">Button Text</asp:LinkButton>\[/code\]but the target blank does not work, it does not open the page in a new tab, it opens it in the same tab.What Am I doing wrong?There is an href, its gets assigned in the code behind like so\[code\] linkButton.PostBackUrl = "http://www.nfl.com";\[/code\]but still the target blank does not work....
