Hi everybody,

How to add option target=>_blank in my code.


<?= Html::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ?    ' <i class="fa fa-save"></i>   Save & Print' : ' <i class="fa fa-save"></i>   Save & Print', ['target'=>'_blank'] , ['class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>

Anybody know this ? Thanks

/**
 * Generates a submit button tag.
 *
 * Be careful when naming form elements such as submit buttons. According to the [jQuery documentation](https://api.jquery.com/submit/) there
 * are some reserved names that can cause conflicts, e.g. `submit`, `length`, or `method`.
 *
 * @param string $content the content enclosed within the button tag. It will NOT be HTML-encoded.
 * Therefore you can pass in HTML code such as an image tag. If this is is coming from end users,
 * you should consider [[encode()]] it to prevent XSS attacks.
 * @param array $options the tag options in terms of name-value pairs. These will be rendered as
 * the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using [[encode()]].
 * If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered.
 * See [[renderTagAttributes()]] for details on how attributes are being rendered.
 * @return string the generated submit button tag

you can’t put target=_blank on submit button


<?= Html::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ?    ' <i class="fa fa-save"></i>   Save & Print' : ' <i class="fa fa-save"></i>   Save & Print', ['target'=>'_blank'] , ['class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>


// your code outputs a button tag something like


<button>...</button>

change it to a anchor tag and your target=_blank should work as expected


<?= Html::a('Link', 'path_to_your_link', ['target'=>'_blank', 'class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>

<?= Html::submitButton(' <i class="fa fa-save"></i>   Save & Print', 

['target'=>'_blank', 'class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>

The ‘target’ and ‘class’ array options need to be in the same array[]. I also simplified your label code (‘Save & Print’ where the same whether isNewRecord or not)
