How to open a new browser window from code

[peterH]

A report procedure opens a new page (programatically) when done. Depending on whether the report was generated or not there's a choice of two different pages. If the report was generated I display it to the user and for this I'm using this code which works fine:

p_web.script('location.href="servedocument?docid=' & DOC:doc_id & '"')

The problem is that the browser just opens the new page but I want it to display the page in a new window (browser tab). Since location.href doesn't take a target parameter I'm lost here. Is there another way to accomplish what I want?

Hi Peter,

So .. you have your main tab, a tab for the report (pdf?), and you want a third tab to be automatically created and sent to a url?

Would it be possible to give a little context as to the reasons why you want the new tab to be opened, that might help us a little.
