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');

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()

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.

Is it possible to open a new window using location.href=""? [duplicate]

Is it possible to open a new window using location.href=""? If so, how?
No, setting the location of the window can only be used to load a new page in the same window.
To open a new window you use the open method with a target _blank:
window.open('http://www.guffa.com', '_blank');
To open a new browser window, use the window.open() method. For example, the following code opens this page in a new window.
myRef = window.open(''+self.location,'mywin',
'left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');

how to throw an alert saying " please turn off the pop up blocker" [duplicate]

hi iam trying to open a child window with disabled toolbar.......
how to check whether the child window is opened or not and then display this alert??
can someone help with code.........
When you create a new window using window.open(), it returns a handle to the (theoretically) opened window. You can then test that handle to determine whether the window is open:
var child = window.open("mypopup.html");
// some popup blockers prevent the window from being created (!child) and
// others just close them before they're displayed (child.closed)
if (!child || child.closed) {
// tell the user to turn off their popup blocker
}
Popups are very intrusive, however, and you should consider trying to display the "popup" information within the page. In particular, have a look at "dialog" scripts. If you're using jQuery, a very nice Dialog widget is included in the jQuery UI library.
I think, if popups are blocked, window.open() will return a null, not a window object. You can read it in an MSDN article:
If you are not sure whether a pop-up
window is blocked, check your
functions that return a window object.
You can tell if a pop-up window has
been blocked if these functions return
null. In particular, you need to check
the value of window.open to avoid
script errors when your pop-up windows
are blocked.
Also, this will give you some hints about detection of popup blockers: http://www.visitor-stats.com/articles/detect-popup-blocker.php
You need to give us the Javascript you are using so that we can help. You will need an 'if' statement.
Display alerts like this in javascript:
alert('Please turn off your pop-up blocker');
