A URL should contain a schema (http\://, https\://) to be able to open absolute URLs. If the schema isn’t specified, it will try to open a relative path.

Optional “Name” parameter can be used to specify the name of the browsing context (window, [\<iframe>](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/iframe) or tab) into which to load the specified resource.

To open url in the same window you can specify **\_self** as a value in the "Name" parameter.
