How to open a page in a new tab (google chrome issue)

Question

I open my page in a new tab through the following code :

String js = "window.open('" + page + "'" + ", '_blank');";

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, this.GetType(), "Open", js, true);

but in Google chrome it opens in a new window rather than in a new tab !

How to make it open in a new tab or even maximized ?

You can't force the browser to open a tab instead of a window. That's up to the browser. I'm using Chrome 24.0.1312.57m, and all links, whether _blank or _new, open in tabs, not new windows.

@just_name: You can't have it maximized, but you can choose a size. It can look maximized if you set it to the size of the screen. Take a look at this question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/2157180/388916 – Hubro Feb 27 '13 at 19:26

Javascript code cannot ensure that.It depends on the browser settings of the user whether a page will open in a new window or tab.
