Question

Open a new page on click of a link on new window

Answer 1

+2 A:

you want

<a href="http://abc.com" target="_blank">Enroll</a>

window.open is for popup windows, if you just want a new browser window/tab, target=_blank is your friend.

That's not a JavaScript solution though.

@kinopiko why does it need to be? the requirement was 'I have a page in which i have provided a link clicking on which should redirect to a new page on the new window.'

@pankaj, which version of ie? that code should open in a new window (which means tab for modern browsers, unless you've configured it differently?)

have a look under Tools > Internet Options > General > Tabs [Settings] > "Always open pop-ups in a new window" (selected by default), "Always open pop-ups in a new tab", or "Let Internet Explorer decide how pop-ups should open" which is the one you want.

But, relying on the end-user's browser settings is not a good idea, unless you are developing an application for internal use, and you are able to ensure that all users have their browsers configured in the same way. Unpredictable behaviour is a sure-fire way to alienate users.
