fancybox and links

i've searched the forums for a solution, but i couldn't find anything :)
i have a fancybox with a div inside it. inside this div i have things such as images, text and an external link ( tag ) to a website (ex. yahoo)
what i would like is, when i click the link, yahoo will open up in a new tab/window ( target:_blank ) but all i get is "the requested content cannot be loaded. please try again later"

here's the code:

<a class="fancybox" href="#content"></a>
 <div id="content">
       <img.... />
       <p>......</p>
       <a href="www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">yahoo.com</a>
 </div>
 

thanks a lot for helping me out :)
