Open a URL in a new tab (and not a new window)
(33 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I want to open a new tab using jquery. The code should be pretty simple, nevertheless the following code is not working hence it opens a new window
window.open('url', '_blank');
How do I open a new tab instead of a new window?
It's not possible for you as the developer to determine.
Browsers have a setting that decides what to do when this happens, so the end user is the one who decides how the new window/tab will open.
The closest to "controlling" this, that I've seen, is when I pass a size in the third parameter of window.open, it "forces" a new window (at least it has in the past). Of course, this most likely isn't consistent across browsers. And that is the opposite of what you're looking for.
It also doesn't help when there are browsers out there without the feature of tabs.

I've tried jquery window.open, but all focus will be shifted to new tab, and i dont want that, onclick should open new tab without shifting focus from current tab, also tried window.blur() and window.focus(), but doesn't fit my requirement.
tab behaviour is controlled by the browser.
You wont have any way of controlling it from javascript.
Being able to control that kind of behaviour would be a serious security concern.

I have such situation. I try to open a window with window.open function new window was opened in a front of main window, how can i open it in background of main window, without focus on new. Is it possible to do such thing?
What you seek is called a "pop-under" window
Open a new window using let handle = window.open()
Lose focus of the new window by using handle.blur()
The return focus to your existing window using window.focus()
Example:
var handle = window.open('https://stackoverflow.com/');
handle.blur();
window.focus();
However, it's not a guarantee as user browser settings may override this behavior, especially pop-up blockers.
No you cant open window behind the main window. if you are using window.open() then it will be top of the main window. that's how the pop up windows works.
alternatively you can do this
Window.open();
yourMainWindow.focus();
Try using the Following
window.open("http://localhost/123", '_blank');

I have mined deep in the web, but still I cannot find a solution for this problem, i.e., when you manually click a link in the webpage, it will open a new tab in Chrome, but when you click it by invoking link.click() in JS, it will open a new window.
Is it possible to find a way for that?
You can't get this behavior programmatically, this behavior set by user inside browser configuration :(

How to open a url in new window without losing the focus of current window .
I want to open a new url for every 20 secs of time.
I used the following code in a page where the function is called after some time period but not working
var win=window.open(url,'_blank');
window.focus();
This may help you... but it is not recommended to open new popups every 20 second since this will be the worst user experience ever
create a new popup window using window.open()
blur newly created window using window.blur()
focus your main window using window.focus()

JavaScript open in a new window, not tab
How can I open a new window (not a tab!) when I call a window.open function.
That window should not contain an toolbar, or menu options.
Thanks
window.open("http://www.google.com",
"name_your_window",
"location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=no,width=200,height=200,menubar=no,toolbar=no");
For a list of the parameters available, see here.
You can't override the browser settings to "open all new windows in a tab" in all browsers (thank goodness). This is a duplicate of: JavaScript open in a new window, not tab
