In HTML, the anchor tag is used to open new windows and tabs in a very straightforward manner. However, there is a need to do the same using JavaScript. In JavaScript, window.open() proves to be helpful. The window.open() method is used to open a new browser window or a new tab depending on the browser setting and the parameter values. 

Syntax: 

window.open(URL, name, specs, replace);

Note: All the parameters are optional.

Approach

  • To open a URL in a new window, make sure that the second parameter is not _blank.
  • The other parameters can be varied accordingly as per the need of the new window.

Example 1: In this example, we are creating a button and setting an onclick function to open a new window.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<body style="text-align:center;">
 
    <h1 style="color:green">
        GeeksforGeeks
    </h1>
 
     
    <p>
        Click the button to
        open a new window.
    </p>
 
 
    <button onclick="NewTab()">
        Open Geeksforgeeks
    </button>
 
    <script>
        function NewTab() {
            window.open("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org",
                    "", "width=300, height=300");
        }
    </script>
</body>
 
</html>


Output:
