HTML Input Button

Question

I'm using this code here:

<input type="button"  value="Latest Results" onClick="self.location='http://URL.COM/SEARCH STRING'+document.getElementById('code').value +'EXTRA BIT OF SEARCH URL'">

Which I'm using with an input box (sometime several input boxes) to take an input and quickly add it to a URL to search an internal system. It works great for what we need, but I'm trying to get it to open in a new window rather than the current one.

I've tried adding target="_blank" to the end and changing onClick="self.location= to window.open but no luck.

Try <input type="button" value="Latest Results" onClick="window.open('http://URL.COM/SEARCH STRING'+document.getElementById('code').value +'EXTRA BIT OF SEARCH URL', '_blank')"> — PiLHA

@PiLHA window.open as its second parameter has default _blank :P — Mohammad Areeb Siddiqui

Try this:

<input type="button"  value="Latest Results" onClick="window.open('http://www.google.com');">

Use window.open instead of self.location :)

You should use JSfiddle instead of jsBin... it has a much nicer interface, so that the OP can see what is actually going on
