Open new window without focus on it [duplicate]
I have such situation. I try to open a window with window.open
function new window was opened in a front of main window, how can i open it in background of main window, without focus on new. Is it possible to do such thing?
Solution 1:
What you seek is called a "pop-under" window
- Open a new window using
let handle = window.open()
- Lose focus of the new window by using
handle.blur()
- The return focus to your existing window using
window.focus()
However, it's not a guarantee as user browser settings may override this behavior, especially pop-up blockers.
