This creates a button link with JQuery or JavaScript; and when click on this button, it opens an URL in a new tab. It’s useful when we create a download link, external link or a page takes long time to respond.
Example JQuery Open A New Tab
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 | <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Demo JavaScript Open A New Tab With JQuery</title> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> </head> <body> <p> <a href="javascript:void(0)" id="hpl_open_in_a_new_tab" name="hpl_open_in_a_new_tab">Open in a new tab</a> </p> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#hpl_open_in_a_new_tab").click(function () { var url = "http://4rapiddev.com"; window.open(url,'_blank'); return false; }); }); </script> </body> </html> |
Note: if we want to open that link in the current window, we can use:
1 2 3 4 5 | $("#hpl_open_in_current_window").click(function () { var url = "http://4rapiddev.com"; window.location.href = url; return false; }); |
