Provides the name of the window or frame that is to receive content as the result of navigating to a link. 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 need the services of a target attribute to open a linked page in a blank browser window and you also need the HTML to validate under strict HTML or XHTML DTDs, you can omit the target attribute in the code, but you must assign a value to the a element's target property by script after the page loads.

Example

document.getElementById("homeLink").target = "_top"; document.links[3].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
None.
