Answer 1

You can use the following.

window.open(
  'https://google.com',
  '_blank' // <- This is what makes it open in a new window.
);

in HTML

 <button class="btn btn-success" onclick=" window.open('http://google.com','_blank')"> Google</button>

Answer 2

With Bootstrap you can use an anchor like a button.

<a class="btn btn-success" href="https://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>

And use target="_blank" to open the link in a new tab.

Answer 3

You can also add this to your form:

<form action="https://www.google.com" target="_blank">
