Is there any way to change a popup window to a tab window? I have a web page, by clicking a button this page changes to a popup window, I want to know if it is possible to use the same button in popup to change this popup to normal tab? any suggestion?

  • browsers give very little control to the website when it comes to choosing either a popup window or a new tab. It's mostly user preference. If you're using popups at all, you might want to consider switching to a more modern interface where you manage your own popups in the page. – Dave Sep 26 '13 at 10:00

The web browser / user decides whether a page opens in a new tab or in a new window. There is no interface to reliably influence this decision.

Sorry to disappoint!

if you want open a same window:

<a href="url">click</a>

if you want to open a new tab:

<a href="url" target="_blank">click</a>

or

<a href="url" target="_newtab">click</a>

  • The first link will open in the same tab. The second and third versions will open in a new tab in the same window or a new window depending upon the web browser, it's preference settings and the users actions. I don't think this answer adequately addresses the question as I understand it. – michaelward82 Sep 26 '13 at 15:24
