Opening a link in a new tab in HTML with script (button)

Question

How do I open a link in a new tab with JavaScript?

This is my current code:

 <button id="homePage" class="float-left submit-button">Home</button>
 <script type="text/javascript">
 document.getElementById("homePage").onclick = function () {
    location.href = "https://www.google.com";
 };
 </script >

Answer 1

You can use window.open(url, '_blank'); after the location.href.
