Open url in new tab using javascript

I’m trying to make it so that something opens up in a tab, not a window. As far as I can tell, this is set by browser preference. Is there no real way to override this? I understand you can use window.open, but is this subject to browser preference? I’m currently using target=”_blank”.

Answer 1

You can do this with the following CSS:

a {
    target-name: new;
    target-new: tab;
}​​​​​​​​​​​​​

See this example (please not it does not work because jsFiddle does not support tabs. It is merely for demonstration purposes)

As simple one line solution:

<a href="http://www.bbc.com" target="new" style="target-name:new;target-new:tab">
    Text
</a>​
