Javascript mailto function loading issue

Question

I'm using JavaScript mailto function and when clicking on the button the mail loads in the same tab. How can I load the mail in a new tab?

Here's my code:

<input type="button" value="Apply" name="apply" onclick="mailJob('Sample');">

function mailJob(code)
{
    window.location="mailto:example@gmail.com?subject="+code;
}

window.open('mailto:example@gmail.com?subject='+code, '_blank')

window.location will redirect the current page to the indicated url. In order to open a new window or tab, you need to do window.open, as is shown in answer that Yan linked to.
