Angularjs $window.open('url', '_blank') Directs To Currentpath+url Instead Of Url

I am trying to open a new tab with a specific url. When i enter $window.open('www.example.com', '_blank') i do get a new tab, just like i wanted but instead of going to: www.exam

Solution 1:

Did you try $window.open('http://www.example.com', '_blank') (that is, add http:// so it's not interpreted as a relative URL)?
