web » openInTab(name,url)
Description
This command instructs Nexial to open url in another tab named as specified (i.e. name). If no such tab exists, a
new tab will be created in the current window.
It’d be prudent to specify a meaningful name for the tab target (name) so that you can use it to switch between tabs
via web » selectWindow(winId) command. Note that if name is not specified, one will be
generated as follows (probably not the most useful name): [project-name].[run-id].[counter].
This command put focus on the specified tab while opening the specified url. To switch back to previous tab or another
tab, use one of the selectWindow commands (See Also for detail).
Parameters
- name - the tab name to open the specified URL.
- url - the URL to be opened.

Below is an example script that opens a URL (yahoo.com), and then opens up 2 additional tabs (google.com, then bing.com).
