Name
TARGET — NN all IE all HTML 4
Synopsis
TARGET=”windowOrFrameName"
Optional
If all or most links and area maps on a page load documents into a
separate window or frame, you can set the TARGET
attribute of the BASE
element to take care of
targeting for all of those elements. You can set the
TARGET
attribute without setting the
HREF
attribute if you want to set only the base
target reference.
Example
<BASE TARGET="rightFrame">
Value
Case-sensitive identifier when the frame or window name has been assigned via the target element’s NAME attribute. Four reserved target names act as constants:
-
_blank
Browser creates a new window for the destination document.
-
_parent
Destination document replaces the current frame’s framesetting document (if one exists; otherwise, it is treated as
_self
).-
_self
Destination document replaces the current document in its window or frame.
-
_top
Destination document is to occupy the entire browser window, replacing any and all framesets that may be loaded (also treated as
_self
if there are no framesets defined in the window).
Default
_self
