How to programmatically open a new tab in Internet Explorer 7

I work on developing web applications using C#, ASP.NET 3.5, and Ajax 2.0.

Query - While running Application_1 in Internet Explorer 7, I want to programmatically initiate the execution of Application_2 from Application_1 in a new tab, disregarding client settings.

Up until this point, I have been launching Application_2 in a new window from Application_1 using:

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, typeof(Page), UniqueID, "window.open('theurl',' width=800, height=500');", true);

I am seeking a similar solution to open a new tab instead.

Answer №1

Regrettably, manipulating whether the window opens in a new tab or new window is beyond our control. It ultimately depends on the user's settings and cannot be altered through coding.

Answer №2

If you're curious, here is Microsoft's explanation.

"When it comes to scripting, there isn't a 'target='_tab'' feature or direct access to tabs from script beyond what can be done with multiple windows currently. We are striving to find the right balance in terms of whether a window opened through a script opens in a new frame or a tab."

You might want to let your user know that by holding ctrl+shift and clicking on a link, it will open in a new tab.

Answer №3

Paul has pointed out that achieving this through a script or code is not possible.

In my opinion, it would be ideal to allow users to choose how they prefer to open the new page - whether in a new window or a new tab within the same window based on their browser settings.
