Open url in new tab HELP NEEDED

[diegolyanky]

Hi, i'm trying to make a block with this code:

Code Select Expand

<input name="msg" type="text" /><button>DALE AL CLICK</button>

<script>
    document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
        var msg = document.querySelector('input[name=msg]').value.replace(/ /g, '+');
        location.href = 'http://www.misitio.com/index.php?action=profile;u=' + msg;
    });
</script>




The only I need, is OPEN the url in a new tab, is this possible ?

Browsers treat new windows differently. Some create a new window. Some create a new tab. I don't know of any way that works for all browsers. Besides, you are likely going to piss someone off that like the default behavior of their browser when opening a new link. Your better off just creating a new window and leaving it up to the browser default setting of how it treats new windows vs tabs.

window.open(url,'_blank');

Ok...

so... Where can I put the "_blank" ?

That's all I need. Otherwise, if can open in a new window is better for me.

Thanks a lot for helping me

I already showed you in my last post.

I'll spell it out, but some scripts may not allow this:

Code Select Expand

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.mysite.com">link</a>

IchBin, Sorry ... I didn't see it.

But, using my code...

Is this ok ? ( Because, don't work... steel opening in same window/tab )

Code Select Expand


<input name="msg" type="text" /><button>BUSCAR</button>

<script>
    document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', function() {
        var msg = document.querySelector('input[name=msg]').value.replace(/ /g, '+');
window.open(http://www.MYSITE.com/index.php?action=profile;u= + msg,'_blank');
    });

</script>

Maxx1: Thanks, but I need to know where to put the _blank... I don't know where...

You forgot a couple of single quotes in your window.open.
window.open('http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=profile;u=' + msg, '_blank');

That code opens a new tab for me in Chrome and Firefox.

Hello ?

[IchBin]

Sorry there was a double quote where there shouldn't be. Try mine again in my last post.
