I'm stuck using a CMS that only gives me the ability to modify the content of the <body>, so when I want to redirect people, I've used this

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "/"
</script>

So, yes, the page loads first, and then 5ms later, the redirect happens, and it's worked for all intents and purposes. Now, I'm wondering if I can use javascript to do something else.

Is it possible to open a new browser tab, with a specified URL, and then redirect the user back to the previous page, through Javascript?

Many thanks, SO.

EDIT - Whether it opens a new window or tab, to be honest, is not as important as it actually functioning. I need Javascript to determine the prior page (if possible), then open a new window/tab to a URL I specify, and then redirect the current window/tab to it's prior page. Some are saying that window.open only works on a click event, which will not work for what I am trying acplish either... just fyi.

So, literally, without clicks, I need Javascript to do the following -

  1. Determine the prior/previous/last page the user came from, store it as a variable
  2. Open a new window or tab, to a specified URL
  3. window.location back to the prior page, which I stored as a variable

Hope that makes sense.

  • window.open might be what you are looking for. It's not new tab but might be what you are looking for. – clentfort Commented Nov 15, 2012 at 15:51
  • before you spend much time troubleshooting with window.open, remember that it can only be executed from a user action such as a mouse click. – Salketer Commented Nov 15, 2012 at 15:54
  • so, in that regard, can I have window.open = "http://www.example."; window.location = priorpage; and then use javascript to determine what var priorpage would be? – RCNeil Commented Nov 15, 2012 at 15:54
  • ooops.... good call then @Salketer – RCNeil Commented Nov 15, 2012 at 15:55

Reset to default 3

Depending on the user's browser setting using window.open can open the new window in a new tab instead but you CANNOT directly control this through the browser. It is all down to the user's settings.

To open a new window:

window.open("http://www.google.", "windowName", "window options (optional parameter)");

Then simply use:

history.back();

You can also use the referer property:

var previousUrl = document.referrer;
