How to open a file in a new tab?-CodePudding

I have a link that should open a PDF in a new tab.

This works as expected on localhost but after I deploy the site the link downloads the pdf instead of opening it.

<a download="" target="_blank" href="https://www.my-domain.com.au/foo.pdf">Open PDF</a>

How can I ensure the link opens the file in a new tab instead of downloading it?

The actual code is using Nextjs Link, React JSX.

<Link href={href}>
  <a
    download={true}
    target="_blank"
    rel={isExternal ? 'noopener' : undefined}
  >
    Open PDF
  </a>
</Link>

I am using Chrome

CodePudding user response：

The HTML5 specification says:

The download attribute, if present, indicates that the author intends the hyperlink to be used for downloading a resource.

So, try to remove it.
