target

Description

Specifies the window or frame at which to target the contents.

Syntax

object.target[ = target]

Remarks

If there is no frame or window that matches the specified target, a new window is opened for the link.

The default value for target depends upon the URL and site. If the user does not leave the site, the default is _self, but if the user exits to a new site, the default is _top.

Special Target Values
_blank Specifies to load the link into a new blank window. This window is not named.
_parent Specifies to load the link into the immediate parent of the document the link is in.
_self Specifies to load the link into the same window the link was clicked in.
_top Specifies to load the link into the full body of the window.

This property has read-write permissions, meaning you can change as well as retrieve its current value.
