copied!<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I have been looking into this a little further. </p> <p>Seems like there is no different "type" on these windows, simply different options. A way I found to check if it was a tab or window is to check <code>window.menubar.visible</code>. For the tab, which is a full and normal window it is <code>true</code>, and for the pop-up the menu is hidden and therefore <code>false</code>. Same applies to <code>window.toolbar.visible</code>.</p> <p>Works in FF and Chrome at least. Unfortunately not in IE. (Testing done in IE8, which is the version I have installed. For testing of course..)</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>if(window.menubar.visible) { //Tab } else { //"Child" Window } </code></pre> <p>Found this thread: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6654297/internet-explorer-8-js-error-window-toolbar-visible-is-null-or-not-an-object">Internet Explorer 8 JS Error: 'window.toolbar.visible' is null or not an object</a></p> <hr> <p>If you specify width and height, it means that you also have to specify the <code>name</code> parameter. This can be used in the same way <code>target</code> in an <code>a</code> tag is used, and defaults to <code>_blank</code>.</p> <p>If you do not specify width and height I assume you also don't specify <code>name</code> and therefore it is opened with <code>name=_blank</code>, which means a new Tab.</p> <p>If you specify width and height, are you setting a custom <code>name</code>? Doing so results in a child window. If you specify a name, or empty string as name, I suggest you try <code>name:_blank</code> if you want it to be a new tab. </p> <p>If the window was opened with a name, you can always the <code>window.parent</code> from the child window. If you open with <code>_blank</code> I am not sure if you can get the <code>window.parent</code></p> <p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">w3schools Window Open</a></p>
