onlick should open a new tab but the focus should be on current tab and not on the new tab and should work on chrome and mozzila

Question

I've tried jquery window.open, but all focus will be shifted to new tab, and i dont want that, onclick should open new tab without shifting focus from current tab, also tried window.blur() and window.focus(), but doesn't fit my requirement.

tab behaviour is controlled by the browser.

You wont have any way of controlling it from javascript.

Being able to control that kind of behaviour would be a serious security concern.
