Using window.open in Ajax success

Question

I am using window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank') inside Ajax success.In chrome, new window is opened instead of new tab. But when I called window.open outside the Ajax, it opens new tab.Please anyone explain why its happening so.

my guess is that chrome treats any window.open as a pop-up unless it was called in code that was directly triggered by a click. Since the succes of the ajax request was triggered by the HTTP response, and not a click it treats it as a pop-up — Thayne
