如何在Chrome中通过window.open打开多个电子邮件客户端窗口？

Question

I have the following html/js code:

<button onclick="openWindows()">Open 3 e-mail windows</button>
<script>
      function openWindows(){
          window.open("mailto:asd@gmail.com","_self",'PopUp1');
          window.open("mailto:asd2@gmail.com","_self",'PopUp2');
          window.open("mailto:asd3@gmail.com","_self",'PopUp3');
      } 
</script>

This code should open 3 different e-mail client windows. In the IE and FF the code works correctly, but in Chrome only one (the last) window is displayed. Is there any browser independent solution which allows to open multiple windows all at once?

Answer 1

Change the "_self" with "_blank" .

Beware - many browsers block popups by default.

Answer 2

I just ran into the same issue. Changing it to _blank did not work for me (on chrome 43).

Instead I added a setTimeout to the mailto calls and it worked as expected.

Around 500ms between messages seems to work for me.

      setTimeout(function() {window.open("mailto:asd@gmail.com","_self",'PopUp1');}, 500);
      setTimeout(function() {window.open("mailto:asd2@gmail.com","_self",'PopUp2');}, 1000);
      setTimeout(function() {window.open("mailto:asd3@gmail.com","_self",'PopUp3');}, 1500);
