Synopsis
Read/Write
The name of the window or frame that is to receive content as the
result of navigating to a link or any other action on the page that
loads a new document. Such names are assigned to frames by the
FRAME element’s NAME
attribute; for subwindows, the name is assigned via the second
parameter of the window.open( ) method. If you are
scripting the navigation of another window or frame, use the window
or frame name in a statement that assigns a new URL to the
location.href property
(frameName
.location.href
=
"
newURL
").
Example
document.all.myBase.target = "_top"
Value
String value of the window or frame name, or any of the following
constants (as a string): _parent |
_self | _top |
_blank. The _parent value
targets the frameset to which the current document belongs; the
_self value targets the current window; the
_top value targets the main browser window,
thereby eliminating all frames; and the _blank
value creates a new window of default size.
Default
_self
