HyperlinkButton TargetName _Blank not working in IE11

[deepaksm1]

HyperlinkButton TargetName = _Blank not working in IE11. Page should open in new window if target is _Blank.

<HyperlinkButton Content="Download" Foreground="Teal" NavigateUri="http://www.google.com" TargetName="_Blank" />

I created new fayde application and just added above code in default.fap. But link is not opening in new window.

In fayde to open link in new window below code is used:

  function launchDummyLink(target, navigateUri) {
            dummyLink = dummyLink || document.createElement('a');
            dummyLink.href = navigateUri;
            dummyLink.target = target;
            dummyLink.click();
        }

You are actually only creating the element, without adding it to the DOM. And trying to fire click event which doesn't support in IE.
