How to open a link in new window with tab enabled - javascript

I search a lot but could not figured it out.
Is it possible to open a new window with tab enabled using window.open() method?.
The way chrome context menu "open link in new window" works.

The browser decides on its own how links will open. Sometimes a user can configure how links are to be opened, but the web page cannot do this.

using an anchor tag you can set the target attribute to have some control over where the link opens. Other than that, this behavior is up to the browser and user and cannot be controlled by javascript.

Use this code
window.open("http:.//www.google.com","DemoName",'scrollbars=1,height=650,width=1050');

Right click open in a new tab does not work with window.open in angular 11

I have a problem of redirection on tags my angular application (version 11).
When I left click on the link, the redirection is done correctly.
When I do a ctrl+left click it's ok too.
However when I right click and "open in a new tab" then this new tab does not redirect to the expected link but to the home page of my application.
redirectTo() {
window.open("https://www.mylink.com");
}
<a (click)="redirectTo()">My link</a>
Do you have a solution?
Thanks
This is achievable with plain HTML
My link
Or even better to create a directive for external url.
You will add the target to your window.open function
window.open("https://www.link.com", '_blank');
If you wanted to achieve this using HTML only
Link
No but I don't want to force the opening in a second tab. I want to give the user the possibility to open it in a second tab by right-clicking "open in a second tab".

popup link disappearing after 1 click in firefox

Below link will be disappear after 1 click only in firefox, how to fix this?
Open page in new window
Fiddle Link
The link does not disappear, the problem is that firefox still links to the page in the attribute href in this case in the jsfiddle, it's linking to google.com, but google doesn't allow to embed google in an iframe, so you get a blank page in jsfiddle.
if you use javascript:void(0) inside your href the link will do absolutely nothing, if you use # it will link to a non existing anchor on your page, this is not a problem, but you see it in the address bar of your browser.
You can try this instead:
Open page in new window
If you just want to open the link in a new tab instead you can use target for this, some old browsers will still open this in a new window:
Open page in new tab
Try this:
Open page in new window

Programatically open the URL in new tab in chromium browser using javascript

I have a web application where I have four/five icons in the default page. On click of these icons i am redirecting to some URL in new tab of already opened chromium browser instance using javascript. Below is the javascript code snippet that I am using to launch the URL in new tab of already opened chromium browser instance. Here I am manually clicking the icon
window.open(myURL, '_blank');
But the issue is when I am trying to open the same URL using the same code and programatically triggering the same code to open the URL in new tab, it opes up as a Pop Up but not in a tab. Below is how I am trying to pragmatically open the URL. I am calling the click event of the Icon in the default page using some script rather than manually clicking the icon.
$('#myIconId').click();
If somebody could please help me out. TIA
give a try to use
content of the anchor
Although You shouldn't force user to open new pages or new tab without showing them a hint on what is going to happen before they click on the link.
Above code may or may not work on all browser, please test before making live.

Using open.window() to open js program in a new window

I have a program that is written in CSS/HTML/JavaScript all inline, and opened directly from the HTML file (no web URL). Right now, everyone I work with has their browser set to open any links in a new tab in the same window, which makes the program useless, as it is form that is filled out manually, meant to be on a second monitor.
Right now, I have the window.resizeTo(); and the window.moveTo(); functions working properly IF the open in tabs is changed to open links in new window, but I cant walk around doing that to over 500 computers (no exaggeration on the amount), not to mention, any changes to the settings are reset afte the computers are reset.
When I try the window.open();, it just opens up a blank page in a new window after the .html file is opened, I need it to open itself in a new window, and then resize/move after.
Use window.open(...) with the height and width parameters set. This will force the link to open in a new window:
Share Page
Demo
You can pass a URL to window.open() to open that URL.
You can pass the current URL using location.href.
You can also specify a size and location directly in the third parameter.
Opening a page on tab or a separate window is browser specify feature, and it cannot be controlled by a Web Application.
window.open() will open a popup window and can open any URL you specify when provided:
window.open('openthispage.html);
window.open(URL,name,specs,replace)
add the URL of the program and it should work

How can I open a link in a new tab when the user clicks it

I Would prefer not to use javascript if that's possible but a jquery solution would be fine too. I'd appreciate any help.
I think this entirely depends on the user preferences in a browser.
You can set the target attribute for a hyperlink to be _blank. Like
Click me
But this also depends on the user settings in a browser, whether to open this in a new window or tab.
Click here - Should open it in a new blank tab.
Only thing here is that target="_blank" has been deprecated by W3C - which generally means it's up to the users preferences in the browser.
Here is an example of using javascript - if you really need to check against the W3C validator.
target="_blank" is what can be used. There is no HTML spec item to specify opening in a tab vs in a new window.
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/browsers.html#valid-browsing-context-name-or-keyword
[for _blank] a new browsing context is being requested, and what happens depends on the user agent's configuration and/or abilities
