    Question open url in new tab in background

    I have a web app, where when you click on a button, a web page is sometimes (depending on other choices in the web page) generated. I want to be able to open the newly generated web page in a new tab in the browser, but it must be in the background (so the original page remains in focus).

    How to do that?

    Thanks in advance.

    There is a setting you could use ( in HTML terms )

    You see, a link's HTML code looks like :
    PHP Code:
    <A HREF "Whatever URL">Text to be displayed</A
    If you knew that already, then we're halfway

    You should look at the TARGET attribute of the A tag, which will accomplish what you need :

    I hope it helps

    Ah...I meant to do it programatically, in the codebehind
