Javascript - Open a given URL in a new tab by clicking a button

Question

I would like to have a button that redirects to a given URL and opens in a new tab. How can this be done?

Answer 1

Use this:

Worked for me and it will open an actual new 'popup' window rather than a new full browser or tab. You can also add variables to it to stop it from showing specific browser traits as follows:

onclick="window.open(this.href,'popUpWindow','height=400,width=600,left=10,top=10,,scrollbars=yes,menubar=no'); return false;"
