Window.open Only Open Url, Does Not Click - Click Has To Be Done Manually

I'm using window.open and on click, it opens a new window, pre-fills the address bar but does not open the url filled in the address bar (for chrome) window.open('www.stackoverflow

Solution 1:

You're missing the protocol (in your example http or https).

window.open("https://www.stackoverflow.com","_blank")

It's important for the browser to know if you're passing an absolute or relative uri. If it's absolute (like in your case), you have to prepend the protocol.
