title: How to use target in location.href
body: <p>I am currently developing a web application where I need to open a popup window to show a report. The problem is that some versions of explorer don't support the window.open javascript function, so when this is the case I catch the error and open the new url with location.href. Here the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>try {
      window.open(url, "","width=1002,height=700,location=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,status=1,resizable=0")
  } catch(e) {
      location.target = "_blank";
      location.href = url;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that the location.target is not working and I would like to know if there is a way to specify the target of the location.href so it can be opened in a new tab. </p>
