window open with target blank in Chrome

Question

I have a small javascript function which opens an url in a new tab   function RedirectToPage status       var url    ObjectEditor aspx Status     status     window open url     blank        This always works when called client-side by clicking a button  even in chrome   But in Chrome it won t work when it s called from server-side    by using   ScriptManager RegisterClientScriptBlock     In Firefox and IE it opens the url in a new tab  but chrome opens the url in a new window  What could be a workaround to force Chrome to open it in a new tab

You can t do it because you can t have control on the manner Chrome opens its windows

blank  is not guaranteed to be a new tab or window  It s implemented differently per-browser   You can  however  put anything into target  I usually just say   tab   and every browser I know of just opens it in a new tab   Be aware that it means it s a named target  so if you try to open 2 URLs  they will use the same tab

As Dennis says  you can t control how the browser chooses to handle target  blank   If you re wondering about the inconsistent behavior  probably it s pop-up blocking  Many browsers will forbid new windows from being opened apropos of nothing  but will allow new windows to be spawned as the eventual result of a mouse-click event
