Hey, we live in the same state!

How can I get a link to open in a new window if I am using the following code (used for a hover nav menu):

<div id="divbloglink" class="bloglinkoff"
onclick="document.location='<%=pathstart%>/blog/'; target='_blank'; "
onmouseover="this.className='bloglinkon';"
onmouseout="this.className='bloglinkoff';">
