Question

I am diverting user to some url through window location but this url opens in the same tab in browser  I want it to be open in new tab  Can I do so with window location  Is there another way to do this action

We have to dynamically set the attribute target="_blank" and it will open it in new tab. document.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].setAttribute('target', '_blank')

document.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].click()

If you want to open in new window, get the href link and use window.open

var link = document.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].getAttribute("href");

window.open(url, "","height=500,width=500");

Don't provide the second parameter as _blank in the above.

You can even use   window open  https   support wwf org uk     blank      window location replace  https   support wwf org uk      This will open it on the same tab if the pop-up is blocked

I don t think there s a way to do this  unless you re writing a browser extension  You could try using window open and hoping that the user has their browser set to open new windows in new tabs

Rather going for pop up I personally liked this solution  mentioned on this Question thread JavaScript  location href to open in new window tab     document  on  click   span external-link  function            var t                   this                URL               t attr  data-href                        lt a href     URL     target   blank  gt External Link lt  a gt    0  click               Working example
