I have an ASP.NET application which uses window.open.
It opens a tab instead of a new window. This happens in IE 11. In IE 8 it works fine.

Since we are moving to IE 11 we want this to work on IE 11 too.

```
var url = "reportViewer.aspx?reportname=" + $("#hfReportName").val() + "&schoolDistrict=" + district
            window.open(url, "_blank");

```

I have done my research and [here is what I found.](http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?298537-windows-open()-function-opens-new-tab-instead-of-new-window-in-IE11&s=8cdd7fedc8128c2fccf5f9c578be515d)

I am not sure if that is the right way of doing this. I want to do this through code. Any idea how I can do this. Let me know. thanks in advance.
