It is sometimes useful to force the use of a tab, if the user likes that. As Prakash stated above, this is sometimes dictated by the use of a non-user-initiated event, but there are ways around that.

For example:

$("#theButton").button().click( function(event) {
   $.post( url, data )
   .always( function( response ) {
      window.open( newurl + response, '_blank' );
   } );
} );

will always open "newurl" in a new browser window since the "always" function is not considered user-initiated. However, if we do this:

$("#theButton").button().click( function(event) {
   var newtab = window.open( '', '_blank' );
   $.post( url, data )
   .always( function( response ) {
      newtab.location = newurl + response;
   } );
} );

we open the new browser window or create the new tab, as determined by the user preference in the button click which IS user-initiated. Then we just set the location to the desired URL after returning from the AJAX post. Voila, we force the use of a tab if the user likes that.

This will open the link in a new tab in Chrome and Firefox  and possibly more browsers I haven t tested   var popup     window open  about blank     blank       the about blank is to please Chrome  and  blank to please Firefox popup location    newpage html     It basically opens a new empty tab  and then sets the location of that empty tab  Beware that it is a sort of a hack  since browser tab window behavior is really the domain  responsibility and choice of the Browser and the User   The second line can be called in a callback  after you ve done some AJAX request for example   but then the browser would not recognize it as a user-initiated click-event  and may block the popup

At the moment  Chrome 39  I use this code to open a new tab    x000D   x000D  window open  http   www stackoverflow com     blank    toolbar yes  location yes  status yes  menubar yes  scrollbars yes    x000D   x000D   x000D    Of course this may change in future versions of Chrome   It is a bad idea to use this if you can t control the browser your users are using  It may not work in future versions or with different settings

You can t directly control this  because it s an option controlled by Internet Explorer users   Opening pages using Window open with a different window name will open in a new browser window like a popup  OR open in a new tab  if the user configured the browser to do so   EDIT   A more detailed explanation   1  In modern browsers  window open will open in a new tab rather than a popup   2  You can force a browser to use a new window     popup     by specifying options in the 3rd parameter  3  If the window open call was not part of a user-initiated event  it   ll open in a new window   4  A    user initiated event    does not have to the same function call     but it must originate in the function invoked by a user click  5  If a user initiated event delegates or defers a function call  in an event listener or delegate not bound to the click event  or by using setTimeout for example   it loses it   s status as    user initiated     6  Some popup blockers will allow windows opened from user initiated events  but not those opened otherwise   7  If any popup is blocked  those normally allowed by a blocker  via user initiated events  will sometimes also be blocked  Some examples     Forcing a window to open in a new browser instance  instead of a new tab   window open  page php        width 1000      The following would qualify as a user-initiated event  even though it calls another function   function o      window open  page php         button   addEvent  click   o     The following would not qualify as a user-initiated event  since the setTimeout defers it   function g      setTimeout o  1     function o      window open  page php         button   addEvent  click   g
