Solution 1

You cannot control the user's computer from code running on the server, or from code running in a web page.

What you are trying to do is impossible.

And no, it's not urgent.

Do you want to open web page on the same page instead of new tab if you click on any link? if yes then you need to set the target property of the hyper link go through the below links you will understand what you need to do.

HTML a target Attribute[^]

html - target="_blank" vs. target="_new" - Stack Overflow[^]

If you are not looking for this please elaborate your question so that any one can give answer to your question.

no i want to restrict the user to remain on the same tab of web browser.If suppose student giving exam online.So he can not switch to another tab or window of web browser to see the content from internet.so how could it be possible?

Even if that was possible, what's to stop the user from opening a new instance of the browser?

Or opening a different browser? (I have five installed on my computer.)

Or using a different computer? Or their phone?

As I said, what you are trying to achieve is impossible.

You can do this check below.

But I think this won't work in all browsers.
Good luck :)

If it was possible for a website to stop a user opening other tabs, don't you think every annoying click-bait and advert-laiden site would do exactly this? Or all those fake "download Flash" sites etc etc? If you're never seen a site do something then chances are it's not possible.

If I knew a way to stop people cheating on tests I wouldn't be telling you how to do it, I'd be too busy spending my billion pounds.
