Open new window without focus on it

Question

I have such situation. I try to open a window with window.open function new window was opened in a front of main window, how can i open it in background of main window, without focus on new. Is it possible to do such thing?

Answer 1

What you seek is called a "pop-under" window

• Open a new window using let handle = window.open()
• Lose focus of the new window by using handle.blur()
• The return focus to your existing window using window.focus()

Example:

var handle = window.open('https://stackoverflow.com/');
handle.blur();
window.focus();

However, it's not a guarantee as user browser settings may override this behavior, especially pop-up blockers.

Answer 2

No you cant open window behind the main window. if you are using window.open() then it will be top of the main window. that's how the pop up windows works.
alternatively you can do this

Window.open(); 
yourMainWindow.focus();

Answer 3

Try using the Following

window.open("http://localhost/123", '_blank');
