Synchronous Ajax - does Chrome have a timeout on trusted events?

Question

Situation

We have a situation, where we need to onclick-open a new tab in browsers after performing an XHR / Ajax request.

We do this by setti

Answer 1

What might fix this is opening the new tab before the XHR request returns and while you are still in the trusted context. Browser tabs and windows opened via Javascript maintain connections with the parent window and can communicate back and forth.

If you open a new tab when a link is clicked, you can show a loading screen in the new window while the XHR call runs. This workflow isn't quite as clean as your original request, but it would be a viable solution with some thought. The script below is just a quick example using window.setTimeout() to simulate an async XHR request.

    Make http call and open window.
