Detect if a page is opened in a new tab [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Is it possible to detect if a user has opened a link in a new tab?
7 answers
I'm implementing a "Go Back" button that redirect the user to the previous page or close the current tab if the page is opened in a new tab.
How can i detect (server side or client side) if the page is opened in a new tab ?
My solution is to pass a parameter (for exemple "new_tab=1") in every href attribute of each <a> tag with target="_blank" so i can read that parameter in the page load event, but i hope in a quicker solution.

You can look at the history.length property to see the length of pages in the stack, with history.length === 1 meaning a new tab.

I don't see how this would indicate if the client has opened the new page in a new tab. What if once the new tab is opened, the user navigates?
– Scott Marcus
Nov 21 '18 at 19:04
Well once the user navigates, the tab wouldn't be considered a new tab and therefore the OP's Go Back button should work.

OP says that clicking back in a window that was opened in a new tab should close the window. So, if a new tab opens and the user navigates and then clicks back, the window should close. In your case, they would just go back to the previous page.

The way I read the OP's question is if there is no page to go back to, then the tab should close. I'm sorry if that's not the way you read it.
