Html Button Opening Link in New Tab

So this is the simple code for the button to open a certain link

                <button class="btn btn-success" onclick="location.href='"> Google</button>

but it opens it on the same page, I want the link to open on a new tab though.

You can use the following.

window.open(
  '
  '_blank' // <- This is what makes it open in a new window.
);

in HTML

 <button class="btn btn-success" onclick=" window.open(')"> Google</button>

With Bootstrap you can use an anchor like a button.

<a class="btn btn-success" href="" target="_blank">Google</a>

And use target="_blank" to open the link in a new tab.

You can also add this to your form:

<form action="" target="_blank">

Try using below code:

<button title="button title" class="action primary tocart" onclick=" window.open(' '_blank'); return false;">Google</button>

Here, the window.open with _blank as second argument of window.open function will open the link in new tab.

And by the use of return false we can remove/cancel the default behavior of the button like submit.

To open a new tab with a button you just have to choose any of these options:

  • Open link in a new tab hmtl:
<a href="" target="_blank">The Website Linked</a>
  • Button open link in new tab:
<button class="btn btn-success" onclick=" window.open(')"> Google</button>
  • Open new tab when clicking link html:
<!-- add target="_blank" to open new tab when link is clicked [in HTML]-->
<a href="YourLink" target="_blank">YourText</a>

Use '_blank'. It will not only open the link in a new tab but the state of the original webpage will also remain unaffected.

Try this

window.open(urlValue, "_system", "location=yes");

Try this code.

<input type="button" value="Open Window"
onclick="window.open(')">

If you're in pug:

html
    head
        title Pug
    body
        a(href="" target="_blank") Example
        button(onclick="window.open(')") Example

And if you're puggin' Semantic UI:

html
    head
        title Pug
        link(rel='stylesheet' href=')
    body
        .ui.center.aligned.container
            a(href="" target="_blank") Example
        .ui.center.aligned.container
           .ui.large.grey.button(onclick="window.open(')") Example

This worked for me.

onClick={() => {window.open(');}}

In end of the form button can be added like this using target="_blank"

<a href= {{$example->hosted_example_url }} class="button" target="_blank">View</a>
