Launch a URL in new tab on click of a button

Hi All,
I am currently launching a URL from R3 on click of a button on a screen. When I click on the button the second time it lauches the URL again, but opens it in a new window. I am using IE8 to open the URL's. What i wanted to know, is there any way where I can launch the URL in the same IE8 window, but in a  different tab i.e. instead of opening two IE8 windows, launch one window with two tabs.
Any help would be useful.
Thanks.
Sneha.

Hello sneha!
As far as I know there isn't an HTML TAG to do that. In CSS3 there is a property 'target-new' that can be used
[target-new property|http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-hyperlinks/#the-target-new]
but I'm not sure if IE8 implements this feauture.
The only easy solution I see is to configure the IE8 to open all the links in a new TAB instead of a new window.
Open IE8 then go to "Tools" menu -> "Internet options" then in the "Tabs" section click on "Settings" and Select
"When links from other programs in:"  "A new tab in the current window".
You can do the same with the :
"When a pop-up is encountered" "Allways open pop-ups in a new tab".
Best Regards.

  • I just updated to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I can't click on a bookmark to open it or open new tab when clicking new tab button.

    In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!

    After I posted this, I restarted with add ons disabled and it worked..deleted a cpl of addons for compatibility checking and that fixed it.

  • Why does a new tab (middle click) in a new window open in the original window?

    In FF 4 Beta 11 I open a new window, middle click a link in the new window, but the new tab opens on the original window.
    Why doesn't it open in the new window?
    Are there settings to alter this behaviour?

    In 4.0 stable this problem still occurs. I have restarted in safe mode and all new tabs (middle click or right click new tab) open in the original window.

  • Can't open new tab by clicking + button or from File

    I am unable to open new tab by clicking the + box or even from File - New Tab. It has been working perfectly but failed since last week. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but the trouble seems remaining unchanged.Is my Firefox affected by virus or something else? Please help! it is so inconvenient.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I can't open new tabs by clicking on the plus sign, or in file new tab

    Whereas previously it was possible to open a new tab by clicking on the "plus" sign at the right of the last open tab, or by selecting "file" and "new tab", neither of these options work. New tabs will open for a new webpage, but a "blank" will not appear.

  • In the previous version of Firefox you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade.

    I just installed Firefox 4. In the previous version you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade. Firefox help still says you can open a new Tab by using the "Open New Tab" Button so how do I get it back??

    I got it back by going to "customize toolbar" and hitting "restore default set"! Now there is a small tab next to my open tabs with a "+" on it.
