# No Popups Or New Window Tabs Allowed

Transaction tests do not support loading pop-ups or new tabs. The test will remain focused on the original tab even after clicking on links that create popups or open new tabs.

A workaround for this is to use the `open()` command to load the URL that a pop-up or new tab link refers to.

Another workaround is to use the `location.replace` Javascript method.

**Example:** `runScript("location.replace("https://www.example.com");")`
