My req is that when i click on the   button it should redirect to the new tab.

If I understand you correctly, you want the javascript in the button to open the page in a new tab, as opposed to in the same window as the page the button was in?

 

If so, a quick google for "javascript open new window"  and a browse through the first couple links taught me that you as a JS coder cannot control whether content opens in a new tab or a new window (its set by end user browser preferences). 

 

However, go here: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp

Just use :

 

function new_tab(){

         window.open('url');   //specify the url .

}

 

Call this function in your button onclick event . It will work.
