Question

I’m using the webbrowser Python module to open images in Internet Explorer. Specifically, I’m using the webbrowser.open('C:...', new=0) command.

However, even though I say new=0 my URL is always opened in a new browser window.

What can I do so my link is opened in an already-open browser window?

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Try open_new_tab.

webbrowser.open_new_tab(url)

Open url in a new page (“tab”) of the default browser, if possible, otherwise equivalent to open_new().
