Javascript code to press CTRL+TAB?

Question

Since there's no way of moving to the next tab using javascript,

is there a code which presses CTRL + Tab so it'd move to the next tab?

Answer 1

It's not possible.

It would be a security risk for JavaScript to have the ability to control the browser in that way.

Imagine a malicious site (or a stupid developer) attempting to set the focus to the tab that contains their site every second...

Answer 2

No. You cannot do this. There is no way to switch between tabs using Javascript, or any kind of client scripting. That's as it should be. I don't want websites controlling the way I use my browser.

If you want to have tabs that you can switch between programmatically, you'll have to implement them yourself within the browser window.

Answer 3

You can't send system level keys in javascript due to security reasons.
