How to Open a New Tab in Javascript?

by

Here coder in this blog post we learn how to open a new tab in javascript on button click.

In most cases, this should happen directly in the onclick handler for the link to prevent pop-up blockers and the default “new window” behavior. You could do it this way, or by adding an event listener to your DOM object.

HTML

 
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="openInNewTab('google.com')" >Open in new tab</a>

Javascript

<script>
    function openInNewTab(url) {
        window.open(url, '_blank').focus();
    }
  </script>
