I have a button that opens a link in a same window, but I need to open it in a separate tab by doing some scripting. I am working in Ruby and here is my code: 

Given /^User clicks on the New User Link$/ do
    page.driver.browser.switch_to.window (page.driver.browser.window_handles.last)
    find(:xpath, "//*[@id='slideshow']/div[1]/div/a/img, ").click
end

This code won't work for me. Please let me know if you see anything wrong in this code.

bgoad gave an answer for your question there. Here it is:

def open_new_window(url)
  a = @driver.execute_script("var d=document,a=d.createElement('a');a.target='_blank';a.href=arguments[0];a.innerHTML='.';d.body.appendChild(a);return a", url)
  a.click
  @driver.switch_to.window(@driver.window_handles.last)
end

Note: I haven't tried it
