This doesn't work:
<a href='javascript:void(0)' target='_blank' onclick='do_stuff()' >Open</a>
And neither does this
<a href='javascript:void(0)' target='_blank'onclick='window.open(do_stuff(), "_blank");' >View</a>
It might be clear what I am trying to do. I need to open up a new tab with the results of a JavaScript function. Is there another way I can try to do this?
Open new window (tab) and save it to a variable, then change it's content to your function output:
<button onclick="clicked()">Test</button>
<script>
var clicked = function () {
var new_page = window.open();
new_page.document.write("output");
}
</script>
You can use JS to create divs and change it's content:
new_page.document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = "test";
window?do_stuff()?do_stuff()calls ajax and returns HTML. Not much more than that. the return function populates something like$("#myDiv").html(data);
