Target='_blank' to show in new window, NOT new tab, possible?

Question

How can I do this?

In firefox the link opens in a new tab... I don\'t want users to have to set settings of their browsers for this...

I want a pop-up to app

You cannot control this.

But you can try to open in a new window and then show an alternative solution if the browser rejects the attempt.

You can accomplish this by checking the return value of window.open().

var win = window.open(strUrl, strWindowName);
if (!win) {
    // Call failed. Handle it here. 
    // You can for example open content in a model or show a button that 
    // will open content in a new tab
}
