javascript - How to tell browser to stay on current window

Question

When I do a window.open() is there a way to tell the browser to stay on the current window or tab and not go to the new tab or window?

Answer 1

Use the _self target.

window.open("http://www.example.com", "_self");

Also take a read at the Mozilla documentation or another reliable source.

For basic Javascript commands, I'd go with W3Schools which, even though unrelated to W3C, provide easy to comprehend info and examples on basically any JS method.

Having more than one source of info is always beneficial, and you can always use Google as well.
