commandButton target="_blank"

I am getting the following error when I use target"_blank" with commanButton.

 

Error: Unsupported attribute target in <apex:commandButton> at line 28 

 

Any suggestions on what are the alternatives to this. I do understand from the documentation that 

this option is available for commandlink.

 

I tried navigatetoURL (but do not want to hardcode ID)

 

onclick="navigateToUrl('/apex/myapexpage?id=001T0000008ylRf');" /></td>

function navigateToUrl(url) {
window.location = url;
}

i think commandbutton cant user target attribute.

 

you can do it like this.

 

<apex:commandButton onclick="openWin('http://www.baidu.com')" 

 <script>

function openWin(url){

 window.open(url);

} 

</script>
