How to open a url in new window without a href but using content & url attributes

Question

I am using below code to open a new url, however my target="_blank" tag is not working and the site loads into the same page. Please help me.

  <meta http-equiv = "refresh" content = "3; url = https://www.test.com" target="_blank"/>

Actually what I need is to open the site in a new window instead of opening in the current window — user2368975, Jan 05 '20 at 05:23

For your case, you can try the following solution:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; URL=javascript:window.open('https://test.com','_blank');">
