How to use window.open() method In Javascript
- To open a new tab, we have to use _blank in the second parameter of the window.open() method.
- The return value of window.open() is a reference to the newly created window or tab or null if it failed.
- Do not add a third parameter to it as it will result in the opening of a new window rather than a tab
Syntax:
window.open(URL, '_blank');
Example 1: In this example, we have used the above-explained approach.
<html>
<head>
<title>Open URL in New Tab </title>
</head>
<body>
<p> Click the button to open
<b> w3wiki.org </b>
in new tab
</p>
<button onclick="NewTab()">
Open w3wiki
</button>
<script>
function NewTab() {
window.open(
"https://www.w3wiki.org", "_blank");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
