Currently, under IE8 and in IE7, using javascript window.open and target param is set to _blank, and while (Always open pop-ups in new tab) is checked, the pop up will open in new tab.
Is there a way to force the new pop up to open in a new window from javascript?
Is there a solution other than javascript?
Thanks
Nope. It’s a user setting that you can’t override from script on the page. This is by design.
You could try using an HTML dialog instead if you truly need a dialog type experience.
