Where you have you're onClick="window.open();" or somesuch in the link,
try adding a return false; statement, thus:

Link

An added benefit of doing it this way is that the return false prevents
the browser from carrying out the action specified in the href. This
means that to ensure you don't prevent users with Javascript disabled
from using the link, you can combine a normal link with a target="_new"
and the correct url in the href with the window.open();return false;.
