redirect to a new tab form a client script

[alexrozov]

Hi All

I'm trying to create a catalog item that will redirect to a different web page based on a selection in a variable.

I have created the following onsubmit client script:

function onSubmit() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

var URL = 'http://facebook.com/';
top.window.location = URL;

}

this works, but it redirects the current tab and throws me away from ServiceNow.

I would like to get facebook opened in a new tab/windows and I have tried a number of ways as listed below but none of these are working

1.

var win = window.open('http://facebook.com/', '_blank');
win.focus();

2.
win = window.open("http://facebook.com/", '_blank');

3.
window.open("http://facebook.com/", '_blank');

4. 
$window.open("http://facebook.com/", '_blank');

5. 
var URL = 'http://facebook.com/';
window.location.href(URL);

6. 

var URL = 'http://facebook.com/';
window.open(URL);

7. 

var URL = 'http://facebook.com/';
windows.location.assign(URL);

but none of these work for me

Any help would be appreciated

Alex

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar ,

can you help me with the code to open in new window?

Thanks in advance!

Try this code:

Make sure client is checked and onclick function must available:

function openPortal(){
var catItem = 'dd9820361b033300364d32a3cc4bcbbe';
var url = '/sp?id=sc_cat_item&sys_id='+catItem;
window.open(url,'_blank');

}

Please mark as Correct Answer and Helpful, if applicable.
Thanks!

can you confirm here, are you using catalog client script to redirect to facebook page ?

if yes, please set the "isolate script" field as false and then try. 

Note: if "isolate script" field is not available on form you can add it by configure >> form layout

Yes, I am trying to do this from a client script

did exactly like yours as you can see in the picture and when I hit submit from the portal I get a "javascript error", the request is created but the new tab/window does not open

When I try to use "try it" from the technical view nothing happens and I stay on the form not getting any error message

also set the property glide.script.block.client.globals as false.
