title: How to change href attribute using JavaScript after opening the link in a new window?
body: <p>I have a link on my page</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="http://google.com" id="mylink" onclick="changeLink();" target="_blank"&gt;google&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the goal is to follow this link (opening in a new tab) and change its attributes (on previous tab). I mean we open google.com in a new tab and if we look back on the link, it's refreshed.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried this js code</p>
  
  <pre><code>function changeLink(){
      document.getElementById("mylink").href = "http://facebook.com";
      document.getElementById("mylink").innerHTML = "facebook";
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it also changes the target of new opening tab. Instead of opening google it opens facebook in my example.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to fix it?</p>
