I am trying to open a new tab with javascript.
How to write it so that it would work in chrome, firefox and IE7?
(the pages are on the same domain)
UPD: Let's presume that the user uses the default configuration of IE7...

Reset to default 8You cannot control how the browser will handle opening new popups / pages. This is entirely handled by the browser. If the user has set their browser up to open new pages/popups in a new window, you cannot force your own page to open in a tab.
Plain HTML:
<a href="newpage.html" target="_blank">click here</a>
Javascript:
window.open("newpage.html", "_blank");
But keep in mind what psynnott said.
