Javascript new tab

A simple but useful topic!

In JavaScript, you can open a new tab using the window.open() method. Here's a basic example:

window.open('https://www.example.com', '_blank');

This will open a new tab with the URL https://www.example.com.

Here's a breakdown of the arguments:

• https://www.example.com: The URL you want to open in the new tab.
• _blank: The target attribute, which specifies where the new tab should be opened. _blank tells the browser to open the new tab in a new window.

You can also specify additional options, such as:

• window.open('https://www.example.com', '_blank', 'width=500,height=300');
  • width=500 and height=300 specify the dimensions of the new tab.

Some other options you can use:

• _self: Open the new tab in the same window (default behavior).
• _parent: Open the new tab in the parent window (if the current window is a frame).
• _top: Open the new tab in the topmost window (if the current window is a frame).

Note that window.open() returns a reference to the new window, which you can use to interact with the new tab.

Also, keep in mind that some browsers (like Chrome) may block pop-ups by default, so you may need to add the window.open() call to a user interaction event (like a button click) to get it to work.

I hope that helps!
