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

I don't think you can, from HTML / Javascript, indicate that a page should be opened in a new tab.

(In fact, your page might be opened to a new window, or to a new tab, depending on the configuration of the browser)
