How do you open a new tab in chrome using HTML/JS?

Question

I tried this code

window.open(\'page2.html\',\'_newtab\');

And all it opened was a new window. How do I open a new tab?

Answer 1

This is a browser setting and not something you can control with code. In my browser, your "window.open" will open a new tab, because that's what I have mine set up to do. In others' browsers, it might open a new window.
