Focus Prevention window.open

Question

I want to open the page in a new tab in Google Chrome using window.open (), but I do not want this window to get focus after it opens, but to stay in the background.

Is it possible? It should work only in Google Chrome. It can also use the Google Chrome extension API.

thank

Answer 1

The correct way is to use the extension API:

chrome.tabs.create({url: "http://...", selected: false}); 

The code should be placed on the man page. If you need this inside the contents of the script, you can pass the message to the wallpaper, for example:

 //content script chrome.runtime.sendMessage({link: link}); //background page chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(message, sender, sendResponse) { if(message.link) { chrome.tabs.create({url: link, selected: false}); } }); 

Answer 2

 window.open(url, name, features); window.focus(); 

You will see a new window for a short time.

Answer 3

All browsers have a way out.

 function openURL(url, opt){ if (opt == 0){ // current window window.location = url; }else if (opt == 1){ // new window window.open(url); }else if (opt == 2){ // background window window.open(url); self.focus(); } } 

Thus, using this, you can do whatever you want.

 openURL( "http://www.google.com", 0 ) --> open in same window openURL( "http://www.google.com", 1 ) --> open in new window openURL( "http://www.google.com", 2 ) --> open in new window but in background. 

Answer 4

Yes you can do it:

 var myWindow = window.open(url,name,features); myWindow.blur(); 

Answer 5

Try the following: (chrome only)

 var myWindow = window.open(url,name,features); window.open().close(); 

Answer 6

Activate the parent window from the child or activate self when the child is open.
