== Notes ==
=== Referrer Issue ===
Opening webpages by invoking this method may not be the ideal choice, because this method doesn't save the referring page, which makes webservers think that you are calling a page only by it's URL, and not from the webpage it was on.
In the cases where it doesn't work, one may use <code>window.open(url)</code> instead, which is similar in that it opens a new tab, but it keeps the referrer and switches to the tab immediately.
