window.open
window.open
Function
Open a new window and load a URL.
When window.open
is called to create a new window in a web page, a new instance of BrowserWindow
will be created for the url
and a proxy will be returned to window.open
to let the page have limited control over it.
The proxy has limited standard functionality implemented to be compatible with traditional web pages. For full control of the new window you should create a BrowserWindow
directly.
The newly created BrowserWindow
will inherit the parent window’s options by default. To override inherited options you can set them in the features
string.
