how to open window in new tab with javascript without changing browser settings

Question

Hi I want to open window in new tab with javascript without changing browser settings

Below is the piece of code i ave written.. bt for that i need to change IE settings to "internet explorer decide how pop-ups should be open"

function open_in_new_tab(url)
{   
window.open(url,'_blank');
}

`window.open()` is a bit old fashioned, why don't you use modals? — slash197, Jun 18 '13 at 10:10

I think it's not possible to open a window in a new tab instead of a new window without changing browser settings.
