Hi Guys,

We need to create a module which can open the   "Service Desk Chat" window. We are able to create the module but it is opening in the new tab instead as a window.

We tried keeping the "_blank"   or   "open()" or "window.open()".... But still, it is opening in the new tab.

Also is there any way to control the window size.

Hi Vijay,


I think this is going to be a browser issue. If you give the "Window name" a random name, for example "test999999" it will open the module in a new window. Modern browsers tend to open popups in new tabs to avoid several types of malware taking over the screen, etc. See if you can disable this behaviour in the browser (in Firefox it's the standard behaviour, if I recall correctly) and check again. Otherwise there's always the option to Alt+Shift+click to open the link in a new window, but that would be a last option.


I hope this helps you further.


Kind regards,
