Browser Support
The target attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Definition and Usage
The target attribute specifies the default target for all hyperlinks and forms in the page.
This attribute can be overridden by using the target attribute for each hyperlink/form.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
Frames and framesets are no longer supported in HTML5. Therefore, the _parent, _top and framename values are now mostly used with iframes.
Syntax
<base target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename">
Attribute Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| _blank | Opens the link in a new window or tab |
| _self | Default. Opens the link in the same frame as it was clicked |
| _parent | Opens the link in the parent frame |
| _top | Opens the link in the full body of the window |
| framename | Opens the link in a named frame |
