Browser Support
The target attribute is supported in all major browsers.
Definition and Usage
The target attribute specifies a name or a keyword that indicates where to display the response that is received after submitting the form.
The target attribute defines a name of, or keyword for, a browsing context (e.g. tab, window, or inline frame).
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
The target attribute is supported in HTML5.
The target attribute is deprecated in HTML 4.01.
Note: Frames and framesets are not supported in HTML5, so the _parent, _top and framename values are now mostly used with iframes.
Syntax
<form target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename">
Attribute Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| _blank | The response is displayed in a new window or tab |
| _self | The response is displayed in the same frame (this is default) |
| _parent | The response is displayed in the parent frame |
| _top | The response is displayed in the full body of the window |
| framename | The response is displayed in a named iframe |
