I am trying to open a new tab with a specific url.

When i enter

$window.open('www.example', '_blank') 

i do get a new tab, just like i wanted but instead of going to: www.example

im directed to: http://localhost:8080/www.example

It concatinates my input with my current address

How do i open a new tab with exactly the url i put in the input?

Thanks!

Did you try $window.open('http://www.example.', '_blank') (that is, add http:// so it's not interpreted as a relative URL)?
