funny, i don't even get the "open link in new page" option in my right click menu. I only get it when i change the href of the rendered tag in Firebug to point to the page I want it to open from the original __doPostBack() that is the default that happens when u click a button. Can you show your markup and server side C#?

LinkButton executes HTTP POST operation, you cant change post target here.It is to give the appearance of a HyperLink but the behaviour of a Button.

Instead you can use the asp:HyperLink control (different from the "<a herf=""><a>"tag)

You can also set the Target property to open in new window.

Sample code

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Target=_blank NavigateUrl='WebForm1.aspx'  runat="server">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>
