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 window.open instead of window.location to open a new window or tab (depending on browser settings).

Your fiddle does not work because there is no button element to select. Try input[type=button] or give the button an id and use #buttonId.
